When the Internet was first being organized the United States, as the prime financier and builder controled the main root servers that are the base line of the internet. Now certain other countries want the United states to relinquish that control over to a world organization such as the United Nations
The original intentions were for this to happen. The United States said it will continue to control these 16 servers because of security purposes and do not plan on relinquishing any control to any foreign country.
A little insight...... These servers is what actually control the traffic of the flow of the internet by maintaining rigid control over domains and domain operations(keeps the names seperated and addresses the calls to the right domain server(s) It is actually in the hands of international business that was created strictly for the purpose of oranizing the web. The United States government maintains the security on the servers while the business runs the operationa, day to day business.
I personally agree with the US on this. Not because I am an American citizen but because the UN can't get together enough to decide anything for the common good. And the opportunity for abuse is too easily accepted by most UN members...A perfect example is the Iraq food for oil issue was being misused by the French government and the Russian government to just put money in the hands of the leaders. Had this not been the case then the war maynot have come about(please no war bashing here as it is not the issue) Saddam paid the French and Russians hundreds of millions of dollars to circumvent the embargoes that were sanctioned by the UN. Saddam got the Money for the illegal transfering of oil that was also supposedly under the watchful eye of the UN.
The theory is that if the UN was to gain control then a committee would be formed and the members of that committee would be unable to resist the temptations to exploit the servers for proffit from criminal interprises.
Some countries are screaming foul ...and Fance is one of them, So they are threatening to build their own internet to serv their own countries and their own domains such as dot com. What this would mean is that you as a user of the web may like to go to a particular website on the dot com domain and actuall be sent to any of a different web sites with the same name and domain names.
I am sorry people but this is outlandish. This would lead too the distruction of the internet and also to the closing of borders and the likes instead of causing borders to be opened for commerce and the inventions and scientific discoveries and the likes.
