Joseph,
Could you explain which control?

Some people feel that NTIA only defaulted its inability to address 
the situation on Steve Crocker. They took the word of ICANN claiming 
they were an "MS" (whatever it mey means, it is fashionable) proven 
expert to decide they were mature enough to take over the "Internet 
CARE" before it becomes too much an International burden. Don't you?

My congratulation is about the evaluation that they found a way to 
transmit the MS (i.e. the lobbying organized oligarchy) hot-potatoe 
to the Congress. This way they will not have to acclimate the 
Telecommunications Act to the 2014 technology and neutrality, to 
create an FIC, to transform ISPs into common carrirers, etc. and to 
be laughed at for doing in the US, what they refused the world in Dubai.

That is the beauty of the move. The internet will not be rulled by 
the White-House anymore (sorry JFC for your file), but by the US 
Judges. No vacuum. No need for Russians, Chineses, Europeans, 
Indians, South-Americans, Africans, etc. to be involved. The 1996 Act 
rules them all. Upto the Telcos now to carry the job with their 
Congress lobbied friends if they want to revise it
.
They are now free to propose a new Datacommunications Deal, based 
upon second generation secure technology considering datagram 
transfers layer as a pure commodity they can delegate to the ITU if 
that pleases the world.
