The Fourth Internet Governance Forum is being held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The “Father of the Internet” and the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocol, Robert Kahn, who participated in the forum, said in an interview with reporters that China’s Internet has great potential for development. In the near future, China will certainly be able to make greater contributions in this field.

The recent number one news in the Internet field is undoubtedly the legalization of non-Latinic domain names. Kahn said that the adoption of non-Latin domain names is conducive to the exchange and development of the Internet and lower the threshold for people to access the Internet. He also pointed out that the existing changes on the basis of the loss of the uniqueness of the physical address of the Internet, the current various concerns are unnecessary, "different words are mere representations, does not affect the underlying mechanism of the Internet", the key is the distribution of different language domain names Coordination between agencies. This naturally involves the allocation of power, and the UN Internet Governance Forum is a good place to discuss this issue.

As for the other hot topic “cloud computing” at the moment, Kahn pointed out that “cloud computing” is not really new, but it is actually “distributed computing”. Some IT giants have already embarked on this work very early, but only because of "consumer-level applications" in recent years, they are only familiar to the public. The basic principle of "cloud computing" is the simplification of the user's end, only responsible for data input and read, and the complex processing work to the "cloud", that is, networked computer groups and data centers to deal with.
