Re: When are they going to learn?

Actually, the UN has been eyeing controlling the internet - along with the ITU. There has been quite bit of mumbling within UN committies about taking control of the internet away from the US (and entities like ICANN) and bringing it into the UN.

Have any links with such info? I haven't heard anything about this UN push.

Re: When are they going to learn?

Thanks for the links. Very enlightening.

Still, I think the VOIP/commerce issue would be more in the WTO's bailiwick than the UN or whatever task force they come up with.

On one hand, there's good potential in allowing other countries--developing nations especially--help guide the development of the Internet. Hopefully it would give freedom of communication to countries like China and North Korea. (Wouldn't hold my breath though. )

Then again, I'm not too keen on a body with a track record such as the UN's running the 'Net. (Have they fixed anything lately? ) Fortunately there was compromise thanks to Japan, the EU and Canada(eh).
