Foreign Affairs - Who Will Control the Internet? - Kenneth Neil Cukier
by Decius at 12:34 am EST, Nov 5, 2005

To be sure, the Internet's openness begets big headaches:
it is difficult to track spammers, and the system is tremendously vulnerable to hacking.
But the open network is like the open society -- crime thrives, but so does creativity.
We take for granted that the Internet we enjoy today will continue to have these
characteristics, but this is hardly certain. It all depends on who controls the
domain name system and what priorities they choose to set....

I'm trying to reconcile this source with how wildly inaccurate some of this peice is. No DNS policy is going to fix computer security problems. DNS policies can only control what law abiding people do.
