Viviane Reding's warning is as hollow as a chocolate Easter bunny. China, Saudi Arabia and Iran can go ahead with their threat to create a proprietary DNS system and govern the hell out of it, which will guarantee that it will never achieve universal acceptance. All the United States need do to maintain its control over the Internet is simply to leave it alone Iran already runs a rogue DNS system. The demand to "share" notably comes from many tyrannical regimes that wish to exert greater control over the access to free information. Let them go rogue. 95% of the content and value on the Internet is in the US, EU, Australia, and Japan. I hope the door doesn't hit Russia, China, Iran, and the others in the ass on the way out. When the backbone providers block their traffic to avoid the mess, let's not listen to the whining. Derek
