The Internet

[Dazzle1]

Thoughts on the U.S giving up some of the control on the internet.

Why should the US control it? What most people think of as the Internet, the WWW, was invented by a Brit working in Switzerland.

It sounds dumb . Why now? WHy even give up control ? Has that been a big international gripe against the US?

It doesn't make sence so it's probably a political ploy to try and boost public opinon polls. There are bigger fish to fry.
