LOL,I spilled my coffee on the AOL....

It's funny though,isnt it?No one ever predicted,or could have,at that stage,that the 'Net was going to become something so big..as so many've said..this was a research project..so the US government wasnt really expecting this to turn out oh so well...I feel that the US should keep their hold on though,for the simple reason that it's working fine so far(maybe stretching a wee lil bit..but it isnt as bad as it could be).Wouldnt the transfer to the EU result in things going haywire,even if for a few days or so.(This means a lot to corporations?).I'd like to ask,though:
1.How much does the US government earn or gain to earn,by keeping control over the net?just money-wise..the information they can get is invaluable.And how much do they stand to lose,apart from the historical fact that they were the pioneers?
2.How would they try to make such a transfer,and how long do you all thing it might take?if ever,of course
That's all for now I suppose...be back to post later..I'm sure I've forgotten something..lol
Cheers
