Who Really Owns the Internet?

Hammer of Truth writes about the ongoing debate about who "owns" the Internet. While no entity owns the Internet, ICANN does maintain a limited amount of control over, as Hammer of Truth says, "how we arrive at our favorite Internet destinations," but thankfully the UN did not get the control that some members wanted.

Although, as Reason points out, this is not the end of the debate and government "control" still looms as a scary prospect.
