India proposes UN "takeover" of Internet

http://j.mp/w19BYF  (.nxt)

   "The Indian government has formally proposed a government takeover
    of the Internet at the United Nations General Assembly in New
    York.  In a statement sent yesterday, India argued for the
    creation of a new body to be called the United Nations Committee
    for Internet-Related Policies (CIRP) which would develop Internet
    policies, oversee all Internet standards bodies and policy
    organizations, negotiate Internet-related treaties, and act as an
    arbitrator in Internet-related disputes."

Yep, "fantasy" is the accurate term.
