Subject: [IANA Oversight] Maintaining the Openness of the Internet
Message-ID: <CAJUWsvA_e0WYiiH-KjojtXdJY47HLyz5fUq6q5G9H5C-cEdf6A@mail.gmail.com>

Everyone will agree with me that the internet is an essential tool in the
modern world. If you aren?t connected, you?re left behind. And sadly, this
is a reality far too many in under served communities understand. Real
problems like the digital divide are not been addressed today because most
government have an unbounded authority to regulate the internet.
Anyone who truly cares about preserving an open internet should simply take
even a cursory look at how it became the now hugely important tool that is
revolutionizing entire industries and increasing educational and economic
opportunities worldwide.
All that happened with minimal government control, and that is why i agree
with *Evelyn Bisona* that Government barriers and restrictions are, at best
unnecessary, and at worst threaten the benefits that have come from a
flourishing internet.
