How would the US government feel if a foreign company sought to control and dominate in wireless, TV, radio, print, billboards or… the Web?  It would not.  The US government invented the Internet, so it seems logical that it has a hands-off approach on the Web… but I really do not see why we’re calling Putin et al. out for this.  This is perfectly expected.
