Re:On the internet, we're the vast majority. (Score 1)

Nice try, but no go. There are something like 100 million American internet users, which is orders of magnitude higher than any other country on the planet in terms of wired citizens. As such, Americans should certainly have much more of a say than a country like China or India

One thought which may be slightly off-topic: if that is the case, why don't some of you guys pay for international bandwidth?

My understanding is that any bandwidth from Europe to the US is paid for by the Europeans. The American view is apparently that no-one there needs the bandwidth, and that the internet is an American thing.

It seems that George Bush was not the only man with a problem with "the vision thing."

I would suggest as a topic for discussion that it could easily be best for the internet that no americans be on ICANN. After all, look at the mess NSI are making.

Unfortunately, I don't believe my own suggestion! :)
