Milton,

I feel that the time is now over for such debates about EC, or anyone 
else, copying the US in wanting to impose local global regulations. 
The US executive has removed itself from the loop and left the 
Internet to its reality of an aggregation of national, sales, 
regional, trade, local, private VGNs under the legal jurisdiction of 
the contracting parties, stakehodlers and users.

The business, legal, structural, technical, etc. hysteresis is going 
to slowly fade away, most probably with some picks of resurgence: RFC 
6852 has definitly acknowledged the nature of the modern Internet and 
paradigm: "We embrace a modern paradigm for standards where the 
economics of global markets, fueled by technological advancements, 
drive global deployment of standards regardless of their formal 
status". These standards without formal status (i.e. by local legal 
practices) "contribute to the creation of global communities, 
benefiting humanity". Prior to being politcal, or architectural, the 
fragmentation of the internet comes by its architectural use 
influenced by local laws and practices. Because internauts do not 
necessarily identify themselves as WASPs.

You and I share the same catenet, use the same internet, but do 
not  intersect much our "loglo.nets" (local virtual global networks).
