Update: "And next on the agenda.....Limiting the U.S. control over the internet."

Here is an AP article to update you on the technology forum in Brazil.

Here is a summary of the decisions made regarding the U.S. control over the Internet:

-None

Thank you and good night....

Anyway, no real action has been made in regulating the Internet, especially the U.S. control of the Internet. The only thing anyone knows right now is: "With no concrete recommendations for action, the only certainty going forward is that any resentment about the American influence will only grow as more users from the developing world come online, changing the face of the global network."

It seems that the Russian representative took charge and requested "'practical steps' for moving Internet governance 'under the control of the international community'" be made. Thanks for the heads up Russia...I thought this was the Brazil forum on introducing new lattes to Starbucks, err....never mind.

Brazil chimed in with the notion to make ICANN independent [of the U.S.] and wanted "more concrete recommendations out of the forum."

So a big day in the tech world. Soon some "practical steps" will be presented as well as some other "concrete recommendations." But as of today....no one has done anything about anything. Way to go ladies and gentlemen.

How can a global community be expected to govern the Internet when this forum can't come up with anything? Basically, they met to say that for next time have some ideas. Sounds like a group of college students doing their final project. Great...
