USA rejects ITU Telecom Treaty
http://j.mp/Te6WFI (New York Times)
In a moment of high drama at the end of nearly two weeks of talks
on an international telecommunications treaty, the United States
rejected a proposal negotiated by more than 190 countries on
Thursday after delegates were unable to resolve an impasse over
the Internet. "It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce
that the United States must communicate that it is unable to sign
the agreement in its current form," Terry Kramer, head of the U.S.
delegation, announced moments after a final draft had been
approved by a majority of nations.
