#1 Tell your CEO that you are turning the company network over to the United Nations and see how long it takes for security to escort you straight to the parking lot.

#2 All of their ideas are stupid.
Keep the internet under US control until they remove your keyboards from your cold dead fingers.

It was designed for the US Military in the US and it is a US invention.

The Euroidiots will censor and destroy it post haste and those people have no business running anything.

#5 I'd be perhaps more concerned about it being used a tax revenue source, and the potential to seriously break the global internet by distributing what ICANN currently does, both for censorship and financial purposes.

It could end up like Libya where everyone is fighting to get their hands on the oil (internet) revenues.

#6 In any case, I will be looking into what money changes hands because of the removal of the internet from American Paws.
