(As if the US has "control" anyway....)
It's all over the "popular press", strange I haven't seen it here.

Etc., etc.
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. And I
couldn't really see those countries doing anything about it unless the US did
something actually bad, which they wouldn't do IMHO.
Was I being a pollyanna?
