It's nice of the DoC to "relinquish" control, but I really don't see it changing much other than quieting down some hype from countries that were saying they were pissed at the US for "controlling" the Internet.

Yep, way to optimistic. The world always wants the success of capitalism as long as they don't have to create the climate for it, they just want it handed to them. Once they have it they turn it back toward socialism and proceed to F%^$ it up. Gee, sound like the direction our system's been trying to go in for the last 6 years.
