In one of the worst written stories I've ever seen in Ars, it's announced that -- in one of the best take-out-the-trash moments in Internet history (make the announcement not only on a Friday, but *during a NANOG*) -- NTIA is ceding control of the root DNS zone.
The article very carefully does not say *to whom*; though it implies that it's ICANN.
