The power-hungry megalomaniacs in our government always want to take over anything that gives the INDIVIDUAL some control over himself and his environment.

The Internet grew like wildfire without government involvement

Correction: The Internet grew like wildfire under government oversight. The government gave up as the key carrier of Internet traffic in 1994 by allowing other backbones aside from NSFNet, and dropped commercial restrictions in 1995. The government allowed the growth. But the granting of IP addresses and domain names is still done under federal contract.

They want to control it and if they can’t control it they want to destroy it.
