    Ive read all the RFCs and the informal proposals - not one of these tin-pot backwater whinners is willing to step up to ICANN and offer to trade good practices and accepted methods for autonomy in managing their network extensions. France is a global haven for spammers, scammers and identity thieves, as is Korea, the Caymanns, China, etc. Besides, the Internet is really the commercialized product of ARPA-NET so why shouldnt the US continue to lead in the businesss of names and IP numbering? If those people want it SO BAD, let em build a national LAN! - we can always discuss the idea of allowing their traffic on gateway-basis, IF they behave themselves! I mean come on, half these places dont even have indoor plumbing or a stable agricultural infrastructure, yet theyre worried about having &quotcontrol&quot over something to do with the Internet? Whats the point? They just dislike the idea that America is the last standing superpower - plain and simple. Rate this comment: (Reply)
