US heads for internet showdown
The US is headed for a showdown with much of the rest of the world over
control of the internet at this week's UN summit in Tunisia.
Highlights:
What Icann does not do is "run" or "control" the internet, according to
Theresa Swinehart, General Manager for Global Partnerships at Icann.
"Actually, nobody runs or controls the internet single-handedly. It is
multiple parties, multiple businesses, users, and networks connecting
to this. All these different groups, organizations and companies have a
responsibility."
But Icann operates under a memorandum of understanding with the US
Department of Commerce. To some, that looks like American control of
the internet.
"The rest of the world doesn't want to see US hegemony here, in large
part just for symbolic reasons," says Jonathan Zittrain, Chair in
Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford University.
"So there's one set of countries, anchored by Iran, Cuba and China,
that would like to see some process by which governments of the world
have a much larger hand in controlling the shape of the internet."
Many African politicians are also asking for "regime change" on the
internet, and the European Union called in September for a new,
international body to govern the net.
