U.S. Won't Cede Control of Net Computers

I think they are wrong here. DNS dont work that way. Countries would end up breaking their own domain. the domain extention woulld be the determining factor where the box is. With DNS its not possible to have two systems with the same name. You can force the name but then that box wont talk to any others. They are basicly saying any country can place up its own node and call every internet box behind it .com . net or what ever. IF that was able to happen you would need to have permissions to get to any box with in that node. I dont see this happening anytime soon. But I always wanted to see those root servers lol. I wonder how secure those buildings are? I once was told they are in un-disclosed locations.
