Dumb Internet Question..... [View All]

[madeline_con]

Can someone please explain how the U.S. controls the internet and how other countries would be able to control and/or influence it if it were "intenationalized"?


I've heard talk for some time about U.S. technology being what "runs it", and saw a segment tonight on Lou Dobbs about China and Iran (of all people) wanting to wrest control from the U.S.

Anyone with a good idea of the main points and the ability to explain on a not too technical level, please respnond. :)

(I taught myself HTML, and do have a site, but I'm no computer whiz.) :(
