[Chapter-delegates] ITU, ICANN and Internet Governance

[Sivasubramanian M]

Dear Grigori Saghyan

Thank you for your comments.

Your observation about the main focus of some countries is a very valid
observation.  Telecoms have, wittingly or unwittingly, signed into
Government policies, and in some countries they work closely with
Governments.  It is difficult for them to protest or resist Government
directives, for e.g a public or secret directive to enable easy wire tapping
or decryption. Some submit to content regulation policies willingly and
easily, while most others find it hard to challenge them.
