WMAL Interview - MORGAN WRIGHT - 09.29.16

• Takeover of U.S. Internet Saturday- Arizona’s State Attorney asked a federal judge to block or at least delay Saturday's handover of the U.S. internet to the United Nations. When the internet was developed it allowed for unique domain names so someone could go to"Arizona.gov" instead of having to remember "159.87.85.253" which is the official address. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers or ICANN has a federal government contract to register and monitor those unique domain names. The White House is set to let that contract expire Saturday. At that point, UN expert Brett Schaefer says control of U.S. domain names will go to an international consortium under the United Nations.
