[governance] U.N. takeover of the Internet must be stopped, U.S. warns

[Carlos A. Afonso]

With this bringing of the elephant to the room (in this case, the ITU)
again, USA & the associated lobbies which resist the creation of *any*
international system of Internet governance restart the old blablabla we
were tired to hear before bringing CIRs to the IGF table in 2007... The
same folks, the same terrifying arguments.

In the meantime, European countries already have in place a multilateral
governance system which is deciding, through different instances and
more or less coordinated bodies, quite relevant issues like
international mobile data roaming fees, net neutrality recommendations
and so on. They can, the rest of the world should not... strange indeed!
