That's entirely separate from "Internet governance."
The major intellectual property players in Washington have
always played a dominant role irrespective of the technology,
and will continue to do so.  Any Internet related regimes

else matters, so it may as well be partitioned off, and
forgotten.  They are also not the problem.
