IANA Transition: The Debate Around Who Controls the Internet
At a hearing this week, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Oversight subcommittee, “raised the possibility of adding a policy rider to the funding bill to require NTIA to extend the IANA contract for another year.”
Many stakeholders, including the National Telecommunications & Information Administration, have weighed in in support of a timely transition.
The Internet is not ours to give away. By supporting multistakeholder Internet governance, we make certain the Internet becomes no other nations’ to take,” the NTIA says. “”The U.S does not own the Internet; no one owns the internet.”
Various stakeholders and internet users also weighed in to the debate on Twitter this week.
