The Internet has long been conflictual for those who don't like too much choice left ot individuals. Apparently Middle Eastern countries (who already can freely shut off access to their people) want the world to sign a treaty to agree to it. To date, the USA in unwilling to sign such a treaty. Hopefully it will not become an issue should the extreme right ever get into power though they would not like to share the choices with Middle Eastern counties, I would think.
The Financial Times has written an excellent article. A a conference in Dubai to agree a new international telecoms treaty, has also won the backing of Russia and China, along with a group of other countries. The article in the Financial Times by Seimon Kerr in Dubai and Richard Waters in San Francisco can be read it its entirety by clicking here.
Since our Teapartiers would not even sign a treaty to standardize the world to adapt itself to making the world available to the disabled while we have done so in the US makes me think that both Republicans and Democrats will resist this plan but for very different reasons.
Tariq al-Awadhi, head of the Arab states delegation, hooped by using different wording he might get the US to agree to the proposal. He seems no to understand any more than Romney did while campaigning that it is not the words but the concept that is the key. Democratic principles are difficult for some people to understand. Granted, the population at large doesn't always convince us that they are up to making wise choices, but our Constitution keeps us having to include them anyway as though they are really smart grownups when they are old enough to vote.
