"Good question, who gave the UN the authority to control it?" No one, and they shouldn't... but it isn't possible for the US government to maintain administrative control over the Internet anyway (nor is it desirable). Since the Internet is a global network comprised of thousands of telecommunications sub-networks, privately owned and governmentally owned around the world... and (the "network effect") it's potential is achieved only when they are ALL cooperatively linked together. Never-the-less, if the US stubbornly (& futilely, I might add) continues to try to reserve administrative control (over what it doesn't own), there WILL be a 'revolt'... and the Net will breakaway anyway from it's grasp anyway. *IMO, no government* should control the Net, it should be administratively regulated by a non-profit international organization.** So: the US should not 'control' the Net, and the UN should absolutely not control the Net either (because the UN is a governmental organization, reflecting the will of the governments which are it's members).
