WASHINGTON -- U.S. oversight of the Internet could end if the Department of Commerce approves an agreement to extend a California company's control of the ".com" infrastructure, said the leader of a local domain-name registration company.

The proposed agreement between VeriSign Inc. and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) would hinder competition, raise prices for consumers and give foreign leaders the emotional cause they need to wrest away the U.S. government's oversight role of Internet regulation, said Champ Mitchell, chairman and chief executive officer of Network Solutions, a Herndon domain-name registration and Web services company.

See anything "interesting" about the part I quoted? :D
