Internet is beyond political control: Cerf

This article in The Hindu quotes Vint Cerf saying “It is a huge, new democratic opportunity and beyond any one agency’s political control.” Further, “Nations had tried to control portions of the Internet for their own national goals — but the Net is too ubiquitous for any single agency to throttle, Dr. Cerf said. “No one owns the Internet — but there must be some agencies to make it work.”
