CDT: ITU Powers Threaten the Internet
http://j.mp/zOSd5G (CDT)
"This year, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is
considering whether to expand its regulatory authority to the
Internet. Such a move would have profound implications for the future
of the Internet and could threaten the medium's success as a platform
for innovation, economic growth, human development, and democratic
participation."

As I've said many times before, we need a new, purpose-built
organization to address such issues for the benefit of the entire
Internet community and the global community at large. Not ICANN. Not
the UN. Not the ITU. Reference: "Terrorism, Money, the Internet, and
ICANN" - http://j.mp/xjhwTC (Lauren's Blog).
