[Yeti DNS Discuss] The splinternet is here: The Hindu - Mobile edition

[P Vixie]

<<For all its technical motivations, Yeti has major strategic implications for Internet governance. The pioneers of Yeti have been careful to acknowledge the supremacy of ICANN but the project will bring about a fundamental re-engineering of the Internet. A “pure” IPv6 environment will remove the ceiling on the number of root servers. The global distribution of root servers segues well with India’s call for “inclusive and equitable” governance of critical Internet resources. If root servers are distributed globally, the formal and sole authority of the U.S. government to approve changes to the root zone would be eroded over time. Strategic consequences aside, Yeti’s impact would be substantive and institutions like ERNET should continue supporting the project.>>

This is dumb assery. I won't reply unless it reaches a broader audience.
