Dire prediction. You dont have to be Freddy Bastiat (1801-1850) to fear almost anything your government schemes on doing. Now we can fear what our (US) government wishes to QUIT doing. Specifically, in some new desire to curry world favor, allegedly on account of revelations of indiscriminate past NSA spying. Now whatever INTERNET management exists since the the concept originated is to be SPUN OFF to who knows what entity, outside. Not to any for-profit enterprise where competitive checks exist for its activities, new Googles, PayPals, Ebays, Amazons, or Angies Lists which is indeed the decentralized current situation. No, it will wind up a ward of a malfeasant, usually incompetently feckless yet potentially omnipotent body, like the frickin UNITED NATIONS! Think you own your URL? Think youd still be booting up whenever/wherever you want? Think youd still freely surf the infinite fount of FREE sites? Think youd even be saying what I am saying right here now? Wait till say China, or Putins gang, perhaps a consortium of North Korean type paranoid third world states horn in! How about a transactional carbon tax for it? Obligatory daily propaganda from the Dear Leadership? The mind boggles.
