CNN.com - Deal averts Internet showdown - Nov 16, 2005
by Decius at 8:50 am EST, Nov 16, 2005 |
Negotiators from more than 100 countries agreed late Tuesday to leave the United States in charge of the Internet's addressing system, averting a U.S.-EU showdown at this week's U.N. technology summit.
Maybe the whole thing was a publicity stunt to focus attention on the meeting. In any event, the UN has decided to figure out whether or not they have a problem before they decide to cause one. |

It's not conclusive yet of whether or not there's a problem? Sounds more like they were avoiding the wrath of a war mongering president and supporters. On a side note...you were reading CNN at 6am this morning? NFA with the blogging, Decius. :-) -janelane, uncomprehending |
