India's proposal for government control of Internet to be discussed in Geneva
http://j.mp/JuqvXo (The Hindu)
"In its proposal submitted to the General Assembly in New York on
October 26, 2011, India has argued for a radical shift from the
present model of multi-stakeholder led decision-making, to a purely
government-run multilateral body that would relegate civil society,
private sector, international organisations as well as technical and
academic groups to the fringes in an advisory role. The proposal has
been floated sans any public consultation, despite the move impacting
the country's 800 million mobile and 100 million Internet users."
