With so many things going on, it’s difficult to keep up. But, one thing we should all be watching carefully is taking place halfway around the world, in Dubai – a city in the United Arab Emirates. That’s where the future of your Internet may be decided.
It’s the 2012 World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) and involves about 135 countries.
I’ve been watching the proceedings during this two week event and there’s been more than passing interest expressed in the U.S. media about the future of “our Internet”, which isn’t “ours” at all. In fact, proposals have been leaked to the press suggesting United Nations control over the Internet, but those proposals never made it to the table. Read a summary of that by clicking right here.
