UN Panel Aims to End Internet Tug of War by July

Tue Feb 22 13:53:22 UTC 2005

No government will ever have the internet's best intrest in mind 
when they talk about controlling it. Luckily government control 
has been kept some what to a minimum so far but it's  growing 
rapidly and this is another attempt for a government body to 
"control" the internet.

I wonder what new rules will be put in place if the ITU gets 
control?

I also wonder if the ITU can really take control. What if the U.N. 
says the ITU should run the TLD's and ICANN says no?
