"The root domain service is provided by 13 servers, which exist in multiple physical locations around the world. They're managed by such authorities as Verisign, NASA, the US Military, and RIPE. In theory, if one managed to disable all the root name servers long enough, the entire DNS system would fail, and we'd likely be unable to continue using the internet in any useful manner. That's a highly unlikely scenario, though. Each root name server likely exists as multiple computers in multiple locations, all running different operating systems, different name sever software on different hardware. Nonetheless, the continued operation of the DNS service is essential to our practical day to day usage of the internet. It's security is vital to our infrastructure and economy."

"So, who controls the root-level domain?"

"Surprise, surprise, it's the U.S. government. More specifically, it's the United States Department of Commerce. This makes sense, since the internet was originally a project of the United States Army, the DNS system has always been under the control of the U.S. government. Now, here's where things get interesting: Back in 1998, the United States government said that by 2006, they would turn over control of the root domain to ICANN: an international authority charged with control of the DNS system. Well, the deadline is nearing, and in a recent statement released by the U.S. Department of Commerce guess what they announced?"

"Surprise again: the United States government will not be turning over control of the root domain to an international authority. Once more, the Bush administration has hocked a big loogie in the face of multilateralism, because they CAN. The motivations of the United States government should be obvious to anyone: the economies and infrastructure of the west are dependent upon the continued functioning of the internet. In American hands, the root domain service is safe behind iron bars, and the Americans aim to keep it that way."

"And you know, that's fine. IF they continue to operate the root domain in neutral and purely technical manner, keeping politics out of global network administration."

"However, looking at the presentation given by the Dept. of Commerce, the motivations are pretty far from apolitical. The U.S. believes that it controls the internet because it created the net originally. It will, "maintain its historic role in authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file." Did they say "authorizing"? I can't help wondering if it will ever come to the U.S. deleting the top-level domain for a country it doesn't particularly like, such as Iran or North Korea. The declaration also states that, "Given the breadth of topics potentially encompassed under the rubric of Internet governance there is no one venue to appropriately address the subject in its entirety." Translation being, "United Nations: keep your nose out of our damn business." "

Yes please block the USA so the internet will not work at all.

So many fucking idiots running loose these days.

If it wasnt for America you would still be bathing in the mudhole in front of your shack. Oh wait, you still do.

Quite obviously you have a glaring comprehension problem here.

America is IN by default - since the Internet was originally created in America by the U.S. military (as stated above).

Ever hear of DARPA net...Usenet newsgroups?

Comprehend.

Go get a fucking clue.

1. Phone lines from call centres in India.
2. TV cable so westerners can still watch Coronation Street and english rugby matches.

Next.

I don't know, what.

[AndrewX]

Then there would be two major intranets. The eastern and western net. You only get a login to your own net ;)

[edgeprod]

Looks like our resident village idiot created another account. Just needs more capitalization, and they could be twins.

The cable stuff is a diversion, to put people off from the truth. It's a cover story.

What's really going on is expansion of US undersea hydrophones. The plan is to eventually wire the sea bottom at every significant place on the oceans so we can keep track of submarines, so they can all be killed immediately in the event of hostilities. That's really what it's about. Oh, and some small purpose of redundancy to back up the satellites during solar flares and the small chance they'd be taken out during a significant war, but only for redundancy.

The satellites and ELF transmissions work perfectly well for commo and are built to survive large EMP - they have to be built for that to function in space. But they won't survive a 50 kg slug hitting them at a relative speed of say, 10m per second, and that would be expected in a serious war against a serious player.

The geosynchronous satellites which are the backbone of general commercial communication are, of course sitting ducks for attack even from low-tech adversaries, easy to take out within hours of a decision being made; there is an array of nonsynchronous satellites that back up military commo - you need a steerable dish to to use them which is obviously more complex - and outside what Dish Network will put on your roof because they follow the same path as the surveillance satellites - in polar orbit. In fact, polar orbit was exactly what North Korea was aiming for in this last launch, and the suspicion is that it was a test of a satellite-killer capability - which is why the US called it "provocative". I don't think they are mentioning this stuff on Fox News.
