U.S. Insists on Keeping Control of Web

We all know the administration wants control over many things. Once wealth gathering becomes boring control is the only thing left. I have mixed feelings about this. While I'm not sure that UN control would be totally absurd I don't get the feeling they're the right organization to have control at this time.

The USA invented the Internet and we have a right to keep control over it. However I do think that control needs to become more international.

The companies that own and operate the gateways are already multi-national companies. The government just thinks it controls the internet.

In actuality it's owned by people all over the world and if you can't get a consensus in U.S. think how many more times the difficulty gaining a consensus with the entire world.
