"We think that that's inappropriate," Gross told reporters at U.N. offices in Geneva. "The genius of the Internet is that it has been flexible (and) private sector led."
yeah. flexible, amen to that. so why couldn't someone else (country) forge their own internal system that still communicated w/the outside world. seems China is getting close after all... through some help from us obviously. what would really stop them, or anyone, from just subbing their own system? As long as blahblahblah.blah worked in blahblah land, and you could still type whatever .com etc., who cares right?
it took us years to even get it working at all, let alone graphically, so that anyone could click this or that. then came commercializing, and so far the commerce section of the net is relatively small compared to the tons of info out there. point I'm trying to make is that we did do a boatload of headwork, it didn't happen overnight.
the UN should stick to learning/working with technology before they even consider controlling any of it. |
