I suspect that most web-programmers don't know what ICANN is, that's
my experience.

and these technologies have nowt to do with ICANN.

I used to be a content-monkey for 2 dot coms, ICANN has no say in
these deployments, nor do they want one.

You wouldn't, but ICANN has very little to do with Internet Protocol
address distribution to these investors, nor does it give domain names
to them.

I don't live in T-Mobile or Cingular land, but even if I did, ICANN
wouldn't have jurisdiction over these devices or the content served to
them.

basically, yes.  ICANN has no direct jurisdiction over them, and
certainly doesn't write/develop their standards, nor does it directly
distribute CIRs to network interfaces that these apps cross.
