Banned from most media in many countries, tobacco giants are having a great
time advertising on the Internet via YouTube etc and appealing to young
audiences without any mechanisms to control their access to the fastest
growing media form for young audiences. Any thoughts on this as an emerging
issue? Should advertising on the Net have some standards?

At the same time, it's becoming increasingly obvious that the telco giants
who control so much of Internet access now are much more attracted to the
mobile business model - pay per minute, and pay per content source. Now how
do we apply that to the Internet, they ponder. And how soon will they
succeed given their economic power and ability to influence regulators?

Or aren't these the sort of issues that internet governance should consider?
