ITU Meeting May Decide Governance of the Net
NickFitz writes "The Register has an article on the forthcoming World Summit on the Information Society, organised by the International Telecommunications Union. It seems that the United States, Europe and English-speaking partners are happy to let ICANN carry on running the show, while developing nations would prefer control to be handed over to the ITU. As the second stage of the process isn't due until November 2005, it could be some time before we see any changes."

You have been warned.
for the last time people, I am "frodo from middle eaRTH", not "middle eaST".
Jokes prepare YOU!
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
You so silly! You say 'rich', 'West' and 'control' as if they are bad things! Who else is going to run things? Panama? Bangladesh? The Congo? YOU?!
Your delightfully condecending yet largely pointless post is a fine example of largely pointless, condecending posts. Just like that one!
Grow up, understand the way the world works, and then we'll talk.
Literally, screw the rest of the world. Screw them early and screw them often. The only reason there is an "Internet" is because the United States gave birth to the damned thing. Allowing the UN to have any part in running the thing would be a very bad joke. The UN is a hopelessly inept organization and we would all have been better off without it.
All of us meaning of course the horrible people in the "rich west". Like I said, screw the rest of the world.
