Who Runs the Internet? 7-11-2013
Running Time: 00:50:27

Cyberspace is a globe-spanning domain with more than 2.5 billion users and more than 1 trillion different “things” attached. Who runs it? Who sets the rules for international governance? For years, most of the management has been by two non-governmental organizations, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers and the Internet Engineering Task Force. In Dubai last December, the International Telecommunications Union (a body of the United Nations) made a bid for a role in the governance structure. What does that mean for the future of the internet? What does this mean for international and national security?
