Seems like there's a fairly short list of classes of untrustworthy folk:
 
1. national governments  
   (who want to run the net and have no authority to do so)
2. large organizations
   (who want to be monopolies)
3. small organizations
   (who want to reserve the power to their exclusive little group)
4. individuals 
   (who want to be kings)
5. hippies and/or geeks 
   (who think the own the net)
6. multinational treaty organizations 
   (who want to exercise authority over individual nation-states)

did I leave anybody out?  Is anybody left?
