 China Creates Own DNS First shot in a global salvo against ICANN? Tuesday Feb 28 2006 13:12 EDT Last year there was ample criticism of ICANN by foreign countries, who suggested that the organization was far too America-Centric. Some wanted to see a new ITU supported coalition formed for Internet governance, though others (like China & Turkey) proposed more drastic measures. China tomorrow will launch their own DNS system, with three temporary top level domains, (.CN, .Com and .Net) that will be available only via Chinese networks. Chinese users will be routed directly through the Chinese domestic analysis server, bypassing ICANN entirely. |

So let them, but don't help.China wants the many benefits of an open Internet while placing massive restrictions on what their populace can access. So they should be allowed to create their own country specific Internet. At which point, the world wide Internet should just shut down feeds into China.
Just on general principles, you shouldn't be able to benefit from open information services while simultaneously shunning open information. | | jjoshua Premium Member join:2001-06-01 Scotch Plains, NJ kudos:3 |

Ok then...What do I have to do to have my domain censored. If servers in China can't resolve my Mx record, I recon I would get a lot less spam. | |
