The Department of Commerce is set to hand off the final vestiges of American control over the Internet to international authorities in less than two months, officials have confirmed.
The department will finalize the transition effective Oct. 1, Assistant Secretary Lawrence Strickling wrote on Tuesday, barring what he called "any significant impediment."
The move means the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which is responsible for interpreting numerical addresses on the Web to a readable language, will move from U.S. control to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a multistakeholder body based in Los Angeles that includes countries such as China and Russia.
Critics of the move, most prominently Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, have pointed out the agency could be used by totalitarian governments to shut down the Web around the globe, either in whole or in part.

Pathetic, disgusting and just plain old sad, what this Marxist has done to America in 8 years.
And yet, the fault lies entirely with us.
Dues to ICANN could be envisioned.
I wonder if we could use the numeric IP addressees, e.g. 120.44.88.22. We’ve always had numeric phone numbers and it works pretty well. We could each have our little “DNS server” like we have our phone number lookups in our phones.
Yup, all the GOPe who refuse to support the GOP nominee are in with Hillary and the NWO. Traitors all!
Post of the day.
World internet tax coming to a computer near you
Obammy gets another way to distribute america’s wealth
When Drudge first announced the Internet giveaway, people responded, called their congress critters and raised hell. Unfortunately, like every other American takeover, time dulls the senses and they are able to push this through.
I tweeted the end to everyone I know in talk radio/tv and politician but don’t think i’m making a dent.
A similar article is in red over at DRUDGE.
They’re spending the money (donations) that they received from the third world despots who want to rule over the Internet, even though the internet is a uniquely American invention.
I guess I should say goodbye Freerepublic right now. Goodbye to Shoebat’s website or anything critical of Islam. Goodbye any conservative website.
acting like they are for us when they are engineering the new world order of hell
This is not theirs to give away. Thrump must pound on this it is a winner. The talk show guys are nuance on nothing this is major. This is like NAFTA. Screw the US so Obama looks good to his foreign masters. Anything to take us down.
How does al goron feel about his baby?
But thank God! The intellectuals saved us from that stupid Sarah Palin!
Maybe Stephen Bannon over at Brietbart understand what this means. And the political weight this issue has.
Ted Cruz is fighting this. If he is successful his political career could rise from the dead.
Go ted
“We have a congress?”
Yep. Bought and paid for.
Whoever controls the Internet will indeed control Commerce.....Hillary just spoke saying she would create a Infrastructure “Bank”....which would include broadband for every household in the US. Of course this has nothing to do with advancing education as hes spoke, but everything to do with getting all revenue and commerce on line in order to control it...and the user. If you're familiar with the Globalist World Governance agenda...you will constantly hear Hillary relating to that, only she masks it under bettering the children, or society. When in fact she and Bill are the "pin heads" used to drag this country into that World Governance. This administration isn't building these for just Ambassadors worldwide......
