Ok.. lets say what you say there happens. Whose income do you think would suffere more? US webmasters being denied foreign customers or foreign webmasters being denied US customers?

Lol, maybe the 2 internets was a grab at nothing. However the US isn't as all powerful as it believes itself to be.

Something's got to give...

I agree there needs to be some changes with ICANN but the wholesale changes that the EU is pushing for just won't fly. Of course we aren't all powerful but we do have significant power and know how to leverage it.
