Richard,
Whether i agree or disagree with you is irrelevant, but if you keep making such an argument you should cite some facts and or documents or something that backs up your contention that the Internet belongs to all of us.
It just looks as though it belongs in large part to the USA. Show us something other than your passion and wisdom that says it ain't so. The ICANN MOU sure looks like a legal document that says your wrong. Verisigns contracts sure make you look wrong. I do not know but show me something concrete that says otherwise.

Chris,
The Internet already is "our own"... that's the whole point... the Internet is the combined emotional, intellectual, communal sharing of a whole world community... the Internet is what millions of people from *ALL* countries contribute to it...
To help with the education of people worldwide.
To provide vital support for the health of all people, everywhere.
To keep communities in touch and families in touch - communities in every country in the world.
To trade and to act charitably, worldwide.
To allow individuals of every nation to communicate themselves.
To break down the barriers between nations.
And people, of all nations, have contributed: their time; their money; their hearts; their creativity; their love...
The Internet already is "our own".
Whatever the history behind it, the Internet does *not* belong to the US.
The World is quite rightly saying that it is "our" shared world resource. The US should not control its vital functions unilaterally.
With kind regards,
Richard Henderson.
