-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 lol... This was quoted on Slashdot (which has quite a lot of excrement too).
It is plausabile though, isn't it? I mean, if in the meeting every country in the world says the DNS servers should be under UN control, logic says the US will say "OK". But, the US has been known to defy logic several times, so it might just say "screw you guys, I'm going home". In which case the rest of the world will be very annoyed and might just start their own DNS... Let's just hope it doesn't happen. Keith Ramon Casha wrote: > I think that was in the daily telegraph.
