12:06Controlling the Internet

Most of us use the Internet every day without thinking about how it works or who's in charge. But some countries say the U.S. should allow an international organization to run the Internet -- an idea the U.S. rejects. Meanwhile, many developing countries say they also want a larger share of the Internet pie. Join Kojo for a Tech Tuesday look at the international struggle to control the Internet.
