<dd>Yes, like the telephone is a Canadian invention and this is why until
today Canadians control the entire worldwide telephony network... or the
Scottish control the entire worldwide penicillin market. :)<br>

That is not what I said. Clearly the DNS and the Internet for that matter
is a U.S. invention. However the subject of control is an architectural
issue. In telecommunication control is a centralized affair. On the
Internet control is in the hands of the end users.</blockquote><br>
Actually it is not. Most of the parts (datagram, "network of
network", etc. [Louis Pouzin], DNS ["11" distributed logic
of telephone and servers directory service on Minitel, the root file of
us in Saint-Cloud
(<a href="http://intlnet.org/intlhist.htm" eudora="autourl">
http://intlnet.org/intlhist.htm</a>)) of the Internet are of French
origin. However, the rustic additions that do not work so well in them
truely are U.S. additions :-) like ICANN. And this is what we try to
"take care" of :-) right now with the Interplus architectural
analysis and the Internet presentation layer support.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">However the lack control does
not change the fact the U.S. through ARPA and later DARPA build the
Internet we have and use today.</blockquote><br>
Correct. Except that I would have phrased "the internet we have to
use today". :-)<br><br>
Cheers !<br>

<dd>and what is going to happen around the world as US insists that the
DNS is<br>
<dd>theirs, all theirs?<br><br>
</dl><br>
<dd>Thats is a difficult statement. But it can be proven that when it
comes to<br>
<dd>DNS the U.S. has played the lead role and it could easily be argued
that the<br>
<dd>DNS is in fact a U.S. invention.<br><br>
