[governance] Internet humbles UN telecoms agency

[Marilia Maciel]

Only in a twisted society lack of dialogue and understanding will be seen
as victory and only irresponsible people celebrate failure.
The bright side was that bad proposals about Internet were avoided, at
least for now. The bad side is that good proposals from the ITRs seem to be
lost, and the meeting proves that the rift is widening between actors. The
consequence may be more attempts for national regulation in a myriad of
topics, from national firewalls to SOPA, PIPA or domain name seizures from
the US gov. But wait: aren't the US the ultimate freedom fighters according
to .nxt?
