Episode Synopsis

The U.S. is "giving away the internet"? Hardly. On today's show, journalist Kieren McCarthy explains what the U.S. government plans to do with its role in the internet at the end of this month, why it will have no affect on free speech, and why we need not worry about Russia or China taking over the internet as a result. Kieren, who rights for The Register, has been covering ICANN for many years and even worked there for a while, so he brings a unique perspective to the conversation. Also, a review of the latest news including GoDaddy, MMX, .NYC and more.
