Orchard Park, NY | Exactly, hopefully the U.S. will use their veto power to stop this dead in it's tracks. Why should the U.N. have any say in Internet taxation? Sounds like the day of one world government is getting a little closer. |

Right you are, this is not good.
The UN won't be able to run the internet, they can barely manage themselves.

i agree the internet should not be regulated by any goverment rather than a public company. by giving control of dns to any goverment we can now face laws charges and taxation. the whole argument over dns is a very touchy one at the least, since no1 owns the internet who actually gets the right to name it? i think the original owners of the internet (and not the military if you know your history) should take control of the dns. |

I wouldn't be too concerned. If the UN reacts with the Internet as they reacted to their Embassy getting bombed in Iraq, they'll return Web operations to ICANN the first time a hub goes down...

Boy - I'll tell ya, I'd much rather spend my money lining the pockets of some millionaires who's company administers the 'net rather than fork a penny over to the UN.

The United States has no business listening to or having anything to do with the United Nations in the first place. Even though it will be hard to control, God help us, if the UN becomes the controller of the internet.

Barely? They can't at all, the US has to do it for them!

The U.S. private sector built it, and every barefoot thug around the world who spends billions on weaponry and can't feed his people now wants it. Classic case of the little red hen.
Well, if it happens, a private sector of a different kind will create its own internet.

Has anyone told Al Gore about this? He invented the Internet, maybe there's something he can do to stop this crap. |

Re: Hell NO!!!
UN seeks the World Order. They want to destroy the USA. They seek to destroy our sovernty, our 2nd amendment, our language & God. Look at who sits at the table. They are our enemies. See it for what it really is. They seek our money. The EU is the UN. They want to control our military so they can destroy us.
Hack the UN if you can. I wish I could! But they already have control of the minds of our business execs so it is already gone. If they succeed, drop all connections. Do not buy anything except real guns & ammo. See what free trade, & globalization reaps. Nothing is free or fair. Free trade has all but destroyed the steel industry & many other industries in the USA. Tele-com is next.
Alactel is a French owned company. Alcatel is in every telco in the USA. Most USA based companies are owned by foreign interests. It's already too late! All who vated for Clinton/Gore are getting more than they bargained for. IT jobs are departing for India now. Remote access means IT jobs won't pay crap! When was the last time a TV was built, or repaired in the USA? 1984 maybe. Those jobs left. RCA had the color world wide patent for ten years.
People in the USA never learn. when you want lower prices, it leaves the USA.
Thank corporations for that. |
