Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- More than 5 billion additional people
will connect to the Internet in the next 20 years, and most of
the newcomers will not speak English. This next generation will
use the Internet in ways we cannot imagine, and its innovations
will change the world.
But if the debate in Washington over the creation of new
domain names goes the wrong way, Internet policy won’t help the
free flow of speech online. The U.S. can help by having the
courage to stay the course.
