#2 No.

EU free riders want control of the system because control is what they are all about. Someone else in control is intolerable to them.

#3 And so it was demanded during the Clinton 1990's, Dubya, as it is being demanded again today in May 2009 under the Bammer.

#5 As bad as US government control is, ICANN control would be even worse.

#10 ~~and the camel you road in on.~~

Camels not being native to Europe, I suspect most of them rode in on hyenas. But it's only a guess.

#12 Build your own boys, just like the all European GPS substitute, Galileo. Otherwise, as has been so eloquently previously said, FOAD.

#13 Get your stinking paws off my internet, you damn dirty ape!

It's about ceding control of information to the dictators and wannabe dictators of the world. The UN dictatoriat tried this a few years ago. Now the wannabes in the EU are at it. It goes to show anyone looking where the EU's heart lies. Right now the internet is wide open to all expression and opinion. National firewalls are expensive, labor intensive (30,000 in China alone) and still leaky. If the Kimmies, Abdullahs, Jintaos and Redings can delete an offending website, or even better the offending ISP, from the root DNS, then they have easy control of what type information flows through the web.
