As if we can't do that ourselves without
needing the government to be involved. Please!
Are they going to put professional internet watchers
on the government payroll now??

"Administration officials say the transition needs to be spread
out over two years and closely supervised to prevent major
glitches. ``We want to move it into the private sector as soon as
possible, but we also need to be sure we don't jeopardize the
stability of the Internet while we do it,'' said presidential
adviser Ira Magaziner."

This scares me.
