Things are about to change on the internet
and not for the better.
The US government has sanctioned a new
organization, ICANN, to be
in charge of internet domains and addresses.
Rather than making the internet
more open, ICANN is restricting domain ownership
rights and has sold out
to powerful special interest.
There is an alternative. The same characteristics
that make the internet
able to survive a nuclear strike allow internet
users to go around
organizations like ICANN and their special
interest masters. Alternative
domain networks, such as the Open Root Server
Consortium, allow you to see
ALL of the sites available on the internet, not
just the ones that ICANN
wants you to see. If you are an Internet
provider, you can go around ICANN and
make the entire internet available to your users
in only 2 minutes. Are
you an internet user whose ISP is still using the
ICANN-controlled domain
name system? A few simple steps is all it takes
for you to bypass ICANN and
see all of the sites on the
internet.
This announcement is sponsored by ADNS, owner and
registrar for the
top level domains EARTH, USA and Z. ADNS is a
proud supporter of
the Open Root Server Consortium.
Do you operate a website? Are you
frustrated that your first choice
for a domain name was taken? You can now obtain a
domain ending in
".EARTH", ".USA" or ".Z". To register an EARTH,
USA or Z domain and for

internet and what you can do

interests hijack the
internet and remember, ICANN really means YOU
CAN'T
