"The Battle for the Internet"
Richard Wray of the Guardian writes that the EU says internet could fall apart unless the US yields control of the Internet to the United Nations. "The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the Internet will split apart."
Viviane Reding's warning is as hollow as a chocolate Easter bunny. China, Saudi Arabia and Iran can go ahead with their threat to create a proprietary DNS system and govern the hell out of it, which will guarantee that it will never achieve universal acceptance. All the United States need do to maintain its control over the Internet is simply to leave it alone.
