How hell could we improve the quality of informations provided by
Techdirt and a poor lonesome Republican FCC commissioner?<br>
The post is based upon quotes from a Mr. Robert Mcdowell's
article.<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Eg. <i>Reading even a partial list of proposals that could be
codified into international law next December at a conference in
Dubai is chilling:</i>
<ul>
<li><i>Subject cyber security and data privacy to international
control;</i></li>
<li><i>Allow foreign phone companies to charge fees for
"international" Internet traffic, perhaps even on a
"per-click" basis for certain Web destinations, with the
goal of generating revenue for state-owned phone companies
and government treasuries;</i></li>
<li><i>Impose unprecedented economic regulations such as
mandates for rates, terms and conditions for currently
unregulated traffic-swapping agreements known as "peering."
</i></li>
<li><i>Establish for the first time ITU dominion over important
functions of multi-stakeholder Internet governance entities
such as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers, the nonprofit entity that coordinates the .com and
.org Web addresses of the world;</i></li>
</ul>

It's a pity that suspense and surprise become unlikely with jurors
drawn among employees of DOD, CIA, National Counterterrorism
Center etc.<br>
