On U.S. Telcos and FCC Draining the IANA Swamp
In order to boot-strap their cartel, Jon Postel,
Vinton Cerf and Steve Crocker handed out FREE
blocks of address space, in what is called
The Swamp. Postel, Cerf and Crocker all went to
the same high-school in California. They built
their cartel on years and years of cronyism.
Now that the U.S. Telcos are building out the
broad-band back-bone, they are finding all sorts
of alligators in the swamp. The U.S. Congress
and the FCC are eager to help drain the swamp.
Companies like Verisign and Neustar are of
course eager to help, in the name of security
and stability, the Crocker's mantra. Cerf of
course has moved on from the telcos and is now
an ad-man for pay-per-click name junkies. The
swamp is left to fend for itself. The RIRs do
not want to go near it. Clueless UN newbies are
off distracted Ruling the Root, what a waste of
time that is.
