[Chapter-delegates] ITU, ICANN and Internet Governance

[Grigori Saghyan]

  Dear Mr. Sivasubramanianm
very interesting article, but I think the main focus of Russia, China, 
Iran, Syria is not the business case. Content regulation is  the 
keyword. Telecoms in general   are
content  indifferent, but I agree, that in order to keep their position 
on the market they are ready to support any government initiative.
