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. :-)
