In time these events may prove far more serious for the Internet's future 
than may be apparent at this stage.

The most powerful advocate of Internet freedom and multistakeholderism is 
being seen now as a party acting in its self interest rather than for global 
interests, and multistakeholder is beginning to seem like a philosophy of 
convenience to protect US dominant interests.

I expect to see more and more walled gardens. I expect the IANA oversight 
question to be raised more loudly, and US intransigence on this question to 
lead to serious repercussions for ICANN as well.

This might be the end game for the global Internet as we know it. I don't 
see how we move on from here to achieve sensible outcomes. I'm sure global 
connectivity will remain, but I dont see the sort of facility we used to 
enjoy and we probably all hoped for remaining intact.
