The Dot Europe War of Independence

from the history-repeating-itself dept

It seems that the Europeans (including the English) are ironically fighting their own battle of independence against the US. A group of 30 European registrars are refusing to pay the "US Internet tax" set by ICANN. Perhaps they'll start throwing routers into the English Channel to protest against the tax! Happy Independence Day everyone!

    Hi Jock, sorry about that I sometimes make that mistake (many of my English friends make this mistake too). I know some people are really sensitive about that issue, once one of my friends mothers got really upset because I refered to the UK as England (she was Scottish). Your right I meant British and not just the English.
