A battle has erupted over who governs the internet, with America demanding to maintain a key role in the network it helped create and other countries demanding more control.

The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the internet will split apart.

I would like to see the EU sever internet access to all U.S. based websites to create their own internet. I be that would be great for Europes economy.

So long as Alla's and Everquest continue to be US server based, I fail to see the problem.

That's what I thought before I sat in a Canadian Starbucks with my laptop. It shook the very standards on which I held Canada.

Actually I can't think of a single foreign website that I visit.

Edit: And the hands are faster than the brains as I look at the open Ogame window...

We smuggle some of it to them through the Maine woods, in exchange for allowing our underage students the privalage to vomit on their streets after drinking too much.

I visit The Register, just because I enjoy reading the BOFH articles.

Good point. Without the .nl domain, the US would be cut off from the global supply of w4r3z and child-bestiality ****.

Why on earth should the US assign all the IP addresses? As I recall, we were going to give this up until just recently...

I love the quote from the US rep:

The Guardian Unlimited wrote:
Michael Gallagher, President Bush's internet adviser and head of the national telecommunications and information administration, believes they are seizing on the only "central" part of the system in an effort to exert control. "They are looking for a handle, thinking that the DNS is the meaning of life. But the meaning of life lies within their own borders and the policies that they create there."


You'd think we'd have something a bit more concrete to say.

would it really be too much of a problem to make a "Internet Administration Committee" as part of the United Nations?

Then all the major countries get a say in it and we won't have to blow each other up and end the human race.

The CERN connection came in after ARPANET, they put up the first backbone internet gateway server and developed some of the components found in today's internet, but they didn't invent it. Some guy named Tim did!

ummm.....
4 computers is just a small network... nothing near internet
oh nvm! the didnt make "internet" they made the "world wide web"

FROM CERN WEBSITE:

Quote:
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, a scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (that you are currently using!). The Web, as it is affectionately called, was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information sharing between scientists working in different universities and institutes all over the world.

The basic idea of WWW was to merge the technologies of personal computers, computer networking and hypertext into a powerful and easy to use global information system.

Hypertext is text with links to further information, on the model of references in a scientific paper or cross-references in a dictionary. With electronic documents, these cross-references can be followed by a mouse-click, and with the World-Wide Web, they can be anywhere in the world. There is no need to know where the information is stored, and no need to know any detail on how it is formatted or organized.

"Wandering from one document (webpage) to another" is called browsing. Some people do this just for fun, following links just to see what's there. This is usually called "surfing the Web".

Of course, behind this apparent simplicity there is a set of ingenious design concepts, protocols and conventions.

Nowadays, the WWW has expanded from its original scientific environment and has millions of academic and commercial users.

The creation dates of Arpa/darpa, the internet, and the world wide web are all different and have different meaning... at least to some of us in at least our 20s. If you are younger, you probably don't remember BBS, telnet services (for something other than games and hax0ring,) gopher, archie, veronica, and a host of other funn that died circa 1993.

BBS had such fun games, I remember thinking my 1200 modem was so fast. Archie & veronica,w eren't they gopher like programs kind of precursors to google type stuff?
If they cut off the US from the EU net wouldnt that put a HUGE damper on the gaming communities, especially WoW & FFXI?

Heh.. I remember a friend trying to get me onto Usenet in '91 and me telling him it sounded retarded. I should have stuck with that theory Smiley: laugh

Yeah, prior to that it was a host of BBS's but I never went on the networked commerical ones; it was all single private ones for me. When I got my 2400 baud modem, I downloaded everything onto my Commdore 'cause now it only took *two* hours instead of four like my old 1200! Before that, I had a nifty 300 baud acoustic coupler modem that I kind of miss. I think I still have an RS-232 cable around in my "bag o' computer parts" though.
