=85so we can stop paying for both sides of this idiotic fight. Note =
that if the U.S. pulls its funding from the ITU, that's 10%, and if all =
of the countries that stood with us at the WCIT do so, that would be 74% =
of the ITU's member revenue. Those of us who support the Internet are =
paying for three-quarters of the fight against the Internet. As Smokey =
the Bear would say, only WE can prevent stupidity. As Pogo Possum said, =
"We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us!" Time to correct that. =
Redirect $11M/year from the ITU to Internet governance organizations =
like the IETF.
