"The US government has relaxed its control over how the internet is run. ..."

I guess I didn't realize how much control they had in the first place? ... lol


"The IANA oversees the net's addressing system. "

- Out spawns a smaller branch to do the same thing previously spoke of? So there is technically no relax?

Interesting, so the US controls the internet?

No. US THINKS they control the internet. There is a difference.
