OK, this is probably stupid, but I think its a point worth making
OK so America do not have a country code, so lets take the example of the government domain.
US = .gov
UK = .uk.gov
See the issue? It makes you think, who really owns ICANN? It's meant to be run by every country, but by the looks of it, the US own it...
If lets say we got an alien to look at this, then which country would they go to first? the one that looks the mightiest, and America is basically saying that with their fancy, no country, domain
What we should see is:
US = .us.gov
UK = uk.gov
Yes? Good
Same with telephone codes
US = +1
UK = +44
WTF IS GOING ON HERE????
And hold on, who invented telecommunications? Oh yes, THE BRITISH, so why has AMERICA TAKING OVER ALL OF THE SUDDEN?
Admittedly the US did make the internet but we did make telecommunications and the telephone(?)
Anyway, I just think its unfair and that every country should be treated the same way and by the looks of it the US are sitting on a nice cushion.
