Internet is so inherently global (interestingly ISOC's EC statement uses this precise phrase) that policies made by any group of economically and politically strongest countries become the default global policies - see the cyber crime treaty, and the aspirations of ACTA, and well, also, see Wolfgang's recent email. (I kow i have said this many times before).
