Every four years, the members of the UNs International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) hold a Plenipotentiary conference to
set goals, determine the ITUs budget, and elect officers. This
three-week meeting, held in Busan, Korea, ended in early November
and attracted more attention than usual because of several
proposals to give governments more control over the operations of
Internet impinge on internet freedom and data privacy and attempts
to impose content regulations. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other, less controversial initiatives discussed
in Busan would support the growth of broadband in developing
countries, make the ITU more inclusive and transparent, and
provide better information on how to make networks more secure and
robust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Please join the
