...running the Internet!!! What a friggin' disaster that would be. Maybe we could trade oil-for-Net access or some other scheme to defraud users and the entire World. Or maybe France could veto all Net use because they didn't get the Olympics.
The LAST THING anyone with a CLUE should want is the USELESS NATIONS to be involved in ANYTHING. Those losers should be DISBANDED !!! |

Or maybe when you ll pay 5 dollars a gallon for your gas you ll realize you need UN to "friggin" help you get out of the iraqi mud your president put you in.
Just because you're born in the USA doesnt mean other people born in other countries are as bad as you think they are, they re just as good as you... |

@chcgil.ameritech | I don't think so. Americans have been the best, are the best and always will be the best. |

And just WTF does the war in Iraq or gas prices have to do with this topic? Riiight...
OP has a point, as a forum to discuss new internation treaties and such the UN is irreplacable. As an actual governing body of pretty much damn near anything its proven itself over and over again to be pretty bad and every bit as corrupt as any other gov.
The US has so far done a pretty damn good job of managing the root servers and has gone out of its way not to censor anything on them or play any stupid politcal games with em'. I don't think the same could be said if the UN got control of em' as many countries in the UN have voted time and again on similar issues that they DON'T like the internet in its current form and want to be able to block things they deem inappropriate entirely... |

Umm, I do believe it was the UN that begged us to get in there in the first place ala Gulf War I, but ahh well. The UN is full child molesters and oil cheats, so my opinion stays the same: Keep their hands off the Internet.

It is sad, but not unexpected. The ITU has been around longer then the UN. And they don't do a bad job, just pick a phone up and call another country, the fact that it works is because of them.
They just got lumped in with the UN. Also before you go whining about the UN doing nothing go ask a few million people alive thanks to them deliving food.

The UN has let millions of people die also. |

This the ITU, the same organization that made sure the world had a standard telephone protocol. |

'go ask a few million people alive thanks to them deliving food.'
Well scratching "US" off the box and stenciling "UN" is very important and all but not that important. |

You're pretty funny...
Give it 20 years and the US will be looking more and more like a third-world country when other countries realize that the US has sunk so far into debt that they won't lend them any more money. Let's see what happens then. |

LOOOOL... suuuure we're the best. can I ask you something though? How the hell do you want to improve or advance if you think everything is already great? Example: the roads for instance. They are horrible potholes everywhere but hell! we're the best so it must be worse else where right? Or how about dsl service. We're the best right? so we don't have any problems with dsl blackouts every couple of weeks. Following YOUR logic then ISPs outside the US MUST be worse then here (and ofcourse they must be more expensive right?). Come on man! If the human race settled for mediocrity then we still be tilling the soil by hand and we'd be walkin everywhere (cause who the hell needs a machine to go places?). Who says one country needs to impose its views or regulations on the rest of the world. Where is the free market capitalism and globalism ideology? Let them develop their network. We'll see if it's better. |

At one time I would have agreed with you, but it seems we aren't contributing like we used to. Did we ever finally pay our back dues? |

Reminds me of a recent news blurb that I read about Iran deplying a country-wide fiber-optic network. Wow. I mean, we have FIOS being deployed, but not nation-wide, certainly. It may be another 20 years before that happens, if ever.
Most people, myself included, still thinks that people "over there" live in mud huts in the desert, not unlike the scenes from Star Wars showing Tattooine, the desert planet. Truthfully, I've never been there, so I have no real idea.
The real truth is probably more likely that US ISPs are behind in deploying widespread socially-beneficial technologies, primarily because US corporations focus more on short term monetary goals, rather than longer term synergistic ones. So sad. |
