Beggars

The EU wants to have more control over the internet... or rather, fork it over to the band of thieves and villains known to some as the U.N.

Wow, that's gall. That's also entirely typical of socialists (which the EU is run by), to take control of that which one did not create.

I expect that if thinking like this prevails, we'll have the same stellar improvement in the internet that socialism and/or the UN have brought to everything else that they have touched. (This is my sarcastic face)

On a partially related note, who decided to hold an information summit in Tunisia? How about a place that has actually contributed something to IT: India, Japan, Taiwan, the U.S., Russia... etc? Of course, it's U.N. led and they are the geniuses that formed a human rights commission out of the world's worst human rights abusers... so I suppose this is par for course.

LOL! A typically US-centric point of view. Just because ARPA put the first network together (incidentally using talent and ideas developed all over the world!) doesn’t give the USA the right to run the world’s information infrastructure in perpetuity… and are you sure you want to exclude the US Commerce Department from the category of ‘thieves and villains’? ;o)

yeah, a bit U.S. centric... and how the internet has suffered under this current scheme... It ain't broke, therefore...

U.S. Commerce department is home to a good many thieves and villians... you're right.
