ICANN (International corporation for assigned names and numbers) which handles domain name registration is under the US Control.
So, US claims it has every right to contro Internet traffic. Of the 13 net root servers worldwide, 10 are in the US. And the US says it will continue to administer the net for security reasons.
This led to the big thunderstorm in all those countries who refusing to accept the US control over the NET.
By the way, US stands is this that they formed a commitee to set up an international body to control over the net.
Failure of this may result in the fracture of the Internet in to more than one network as every country will try to establish their own domain name resulting in the existence of more than one site of same domain name. So, it is posible that a user trying to open a site may enter into totally different evironment depending upon the area from where he is accessing the site.
