> The UK does own it's telecom systems.

I know I used to work in telecomms, my point was that having the first system doesn't mean we should control the ITU in perpetum.

In fact the ITU model is a good example of a model that would work here, the UN runs that and I can ring a phone in America or Azerbaijan.

That model doesn't work when we all share the same root name servers. I don't want a majority vote of a bunch of oppressive countries to be able to strip a website of its domain because it has an offensive joke on it.
