EU wants the internet?

The European Union insisted Friday the job of Internet traffic cop must be shared by governments and the private sector.  The U.S. wants to remain the Internet's ultimate authority, rejecting calls in a United Nations meeting in Geneva for a U.N. body to take over.

EU spokesman Martin Selmayr rejected American claims the EU had changed direction.   "We are looking for a new cooperation model, a model that allows Internet governance and the laying down of public policy principles in coordination by all countries which are interested in the governance of the Internet because the Internet is a global resource," he said.

A new cooperation model because it’s a global resource.  OK, on the count of three, I want you to list every global resource you can think of, and then we’ll submit it demanding those resources be shared by everyone, and turn control over all of those resources to the UN.  Sounds like a great idea.

P.S.  It’s the mark of the beast.
