HTML5's  WEBRTC has some intriguing potential to remove the tyranny of a "central point of control"

The DNS problem and reason for confusion is due to limitations imposed during the infancy of development stages of machine inter-connectivity. Basically, IP is insufficient to grant each machine a unique identity. The limited IP addresses are licensed to master networks which in turn are sub-netted to machines which only have a local identity slaved to the master.

Ultimately, we need a unique ID for each machine which is not slaved or controlled by a master. In that case the machines become individual entities. We need a DNS system which recognizes this unique character and allows direct connection between unique entities.

This is not what commercial enterprise demands. The corporate entities only have one rule: Profit. This is in direct conflict with individual liberty. A system of controlled connection is the preference of the profiteer. Thus we have our current Internet authority.

What we as noncommercial enthusiasts desire is secure open connectivity directly between unique identities which is secure yet unhampered by overt regulation by commercial interest such as corporations which includes government.

Just my thoughts,
