A year away from a historic transition affecting the digital landscape, the head of the organization that regulates Web addresses warns that much still needs to be done to keep the Internet intact, regardless of whether the U.S. relinquishes its oversight as expected.

Look who's president.
Ping.
Chi-coms will have our SS #, house address, our ISP address and our bank numbers. How will we not get hosed on this deal? When did WE THE PEOPLE get to vote on this robbery?
Ping.

I guess Christians need to get busy learning how to spread the word the old fashioned Nazareth way. I include myself, first and foremost. And.. Wow, like everyone has said our bank accounts and everything going global for our own good.
Thanks to PROCON for the ping!!
Obama is keeping his promise... fundamentally changing America. TREASONOUS S.O.B.
PING!
FR will be declared a Hate Site, because the facts presented there are hateful, and Hate Facts are no longer allowed.
“....get the short end of any deal”...eventually, but no question at all.
However, as is always true of these lib/socialist/”progressive” circle jerks, the little man in charge has got to declare a Dire Crisis....
...that should “only” take a few hundred billion bucks to resolve. (For at least the first couple of years.)
Watch this space for a bunch of funding bills, our Bill of Rights has ALREADY been rewritten to Pay Up and Shut Up.
Translation: Taxes, intimidation, censorship, bribery, graft, extortion...we're goin' to be rich.
