news U.S. hands over Internet in 45 minutes.

Seems like it will go through this time. What do you think, will it go through this time?

Arizona, Texas, Nevada and Oklahoma have argued the handover is unconstitutional.

(Reuters) – A long-planned transfer of the internet’s technical management from the U.S. government to a global community of stakeholders is expected to take place on Saturday despite last-minute attempts by conservative politicians and officials to delay the changeover.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is due to cede stewardship of ICANN, or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, as scheduled after a lawsuit seeking to halt the transition was denied by a federal judge in Texas on Friday.

The U.S. government has been the primary manager of the internet’s address book since 1988 largely because it was invented in the country. Critics of the handover have attempted to block or delay it on grounds it could jeopardize free speech online, claims that the Obama administration and technology companies have said lack merit.

Of course one should think at first like that, but what to think of censorship of Turkey (banned youtube) , the Russian Federation (with homopobic laws), China (bans lots of domains concerning gambling, religion- or Tibet and the Dalai Lama, and also in China you can't see anything of what happened on the Tien An Men Square some 20 years ago (or more ?) where tanks wiped the demonstrators away with thanks ?, or about (homo)sexuality or just about "being gay", and India (where there's censorship of several .com-websites in relation to porn). You know : that is already happening in these countries with their extentions (with some other countries where that happens also).??

Will they be around the table co-deciding what has to happen in the whole world with internet ??
