Story: US stands firm over Internet control

Dear Smithy, I'm sorry you feel so much aggression against the rest of the world. Just to mention: I also don't approve the censorship of some countries, but that aside.
Think of the following situation: the US gets total control over the internet. Other nations won't be happy with that and come up with a newer, and likely better/faster/more secure internet. Aren't you scared that the US then could becomes isolated from that information source? Maybe the US will see a reduction in trade which isn't good for anyone.
I, for one, would not like it if that happened. And keep in mind that other countries also invested in gateways and other infrastructures (hardware of software wise).
