[governance] The NTIA announcement (re: IANA, DNS root)

[JFC Morfin]

Dear Willi,
let be clear about all this.

Phase 1.
There is the hardware, the computer software and the bandwidth from the Telcos.
Then there is the idea to interconnect computers in using the bandwdith.

Phase 2.
Then there is the idea to build a network, i.e. 
use compters to transport data between computers.
Then there is the idea of Louis to concatenate 
the different local networks into a single catenet.

Phase 3.
There were three ideas that separately matured and you can easily understand :

- the edge to edge pseudowire concept:
you as a user feel you have a dedicated wire. RFC 
3916: "From the customer perspective, the PW is 
perceived as an unshared link or circuit"
It was the basis for OSI reasoning coupled with X.25/75.

- the end to end concept:
this is the one you know with the common 
internet. The architectural references are RFC 1958 and RFC 3439.
TCP/IP was used by the Internet

- the smart fringe to smart fringe concept:
this was the Tymnet technology's one. Being smart 
it was able to emulate the other two. In addition 
its internal protcol was secure.
Tymnet built the international network.

Phase 4
The key problem was RFC 923, i.e. the common 
interational addressing. Politically TCP/IP 
prevailed by USG decision and money: everything 
had to be NSA-compatible. At that time it was not 
for spying but for not to be hacked. They 
purchased and eventually closed Tymnet. This 
delayed the web, but it eventually came in the limited way you know it.

Phase 5
Technology is now grown enough to come back to 
fringe to fringe and experiment its power. This 
ths target of the XLIBRE community 
(http://xlibre.net). It may take time. Nevermind, 
we already lost 40 years (but we have billions of 
users). Our interest is only in fixing a single 
BUG (for the American industry to make us believe 
they can be "Be Unilaterally Global")

The "network fragmentation" story is an NTIA 
fairy tale. The same as if you were telling that 
the world's roads are fragmented by national 
borders, so you need the world to be globally 
American for the lorries to be able to drive from 
Paris to Beijing. And all the cars to be registered by ICARR.

Best
jfc
