UN Power Grab
The United Nations wants to govern the Internet but cannot decide how it wants to do so:
A United Nations working group has published a long-awaited report that effectively challenges US supremacy over internet domain names.
The report says "no single government should have a pre-eminent role in relation to international internet governance" - which runs directly contrary to the Bush administration's position announced last month.
But the UN group couldn't decide what should be done about it. Instead of reaching a consensus, the nations participating in the discussions listed four possible options ranging from modest changes to creating an entirely new 'Global Internet Council' under the auspices of the United Nations.
The latter proposal sounds very U.N. - the solution to the U.S.' domination of the Internet is to regulate it by way of an un-Democratic, un-accountable arm of an un-Democratic, un-accountable and illegitimate wannabe government that claims to "enact" "international law."
