Who Control’s the Internet
A discussion on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Radio National Late Night Live programme on who control’s the internet, and the way forward. The guests agree that ICANN’s control is the “least worst option” for the time being. They also discuss Google and China, with Becky Hogge commenting she is sympathetic to Google acquiescing to China’s demands although she wouldn’t want to have a couple of tea with the people there! Guests are Becky Hogge, Managing Editor of Open Democracy which is an online magazine of global politics and democracy and Kenneth Neil Cukier who covers techonology and regulatory issues for The Economist. The programme is available to download for at least one week from broadcast – till 8 February.
