Don't Give Away the Internet

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/03/19/DON-T-GIVE-AWAY-THE-NET

The United States has managed the Internet for the benefit of the whole world since it created first the DARPANet and then the World Wide Web. There is no good reason for abandoning what remains of that role–especially in favor of what is virtually certain to be a vastly inferior management arrangement.
Some have compared this surrender of what has been, as a practical matter, an American asset to President Carter’s decision to give away the Panama Canal. The difference is that at the time the Canal was given away, we could not be sure it would wind up in unfriendly hands (although it was predictable and predicted that it would, and the Chinese have proved us right). But in this case, we have every reason to believe — despite the administration's obscuring of who will take over from us — that the internet will wind up under the thumb of our enemies.
