The U.S. government said Thursday it would indefinitely retain oversight of the Internet's main traffic-controlling computers, ignoring calls by some countries to turn the function over to an international body.
The announcement marked a departure from previously stated U.S. policy.

I do recall someone pulling together data that got a lot of the homeland security types all riled up, but I don't recall the source.
From past experience, the OSP route maps I've seen for $CARRIER have been
1) done under strict NDA (we will show you the map only in our presence, you cannot keep it, make copies, scan it, smell it, touch it, etc) and 2) only for very specific cable routes that were directly relevant to my original request.
