Russian Business Network (RBN); what if they were out to own the Internet
by owning the DNS? The Internet totally relies on DNS (Domain Name System)
so obviously this must be the stuff that Hollywood movies are made of, but
this nightmare scenario is more real than any of us would like to believe.

This article draws a few of the ingredients together, it is important to
stress this is not to discredit ICANN, but to show just how RBN and their
associates are applying themselves to the weakness of DNS allocation and
exploiting ICANN’s vulnerability via influence, commercial sponsorship
and registrar development.
