The Guardian reported:After complaints about American dominance of the internet and growing disquiet in some parts of the world, Washington has said it will relinquish some control over the way the network is run and allow foreign governments more of a say in the future of the system.
Icann – the official body that ultimately controls the development of the internet thanks to its oversight of web addresses such as .com, .net and .org – said today that it was ending its agreement with the US government.
The deal, part of a contract negotiated with the US department of commerce, effectively pushes California-based Icann towards a new status as an international body with greater representation from companies and governments around the globe.
I'm just surprised that he didn't apologize for American dominance of the Internet that America built while he did it.
Seriously, though, this is just another example of the globalist mindset of Barack Obama, the first post-American President. There is nothing he will not give away or give up control of if it means looking favorable to the world outside the borders of the U.S. Does anyone else find this as vile as I do?
If America really wanted to lead by example, we would invite the EU or anyone else in the world to go ahead and build their own Internet infrastructure, and allow the competition to improve services for everyone.
But no, that would be waaaaaay too capitalistic for Obama.
There's my two cents.
