Glenn,
I'm not sure why you felt the need to be so nasty in your response. Quoting a headline does not speak to the technical reality of what is going on. Care to explain in technical terms what is meant by 'forced' ?
And further, everyone elses suggestions that we some how 'own' the internet are beyond laughable. We own the EU telcos? No. The US invented the internet, and we currently control the phonebook. Thats all. If other areas start using their own, we are powerless to stop them.
I stand by every letter of what I wrote.
The last line with icons doing each other??? Grow up.

Is that because the US is too pretty & popular . . and was really just strutting around asking to be fuched?
The headline, of the article, reads "After troubled negotiations in Geneva, the US may be forced to relinquish control of the internet to a coalition of governments " . . .operative word; FORCED.
Furthermore, the article goes on to say "the EU had decided to end the US government's unilateral control of the internet . . "
So, rather than setting up there OWN internet, they are simply TAKING our internet.
... . .so Ben Dover, smile; would ya? . .tell'm that you like it hard.
