Why the UN's push to control the Internet isn't over

    "Europe voted for the bulk of the ITRs
(International Telecommunications Regulations) in this space," noted Robert
McDowell, an FCC Commissioner who was in attendance. Most European
countries  didn't support the final proposal because of the more
controversial language inserted by Iran and Cuba.  "It could have been
worse, in a way, but it also could have been better." The whole scenario
was chaotic, with a lack of clarity over what would or wouldn't be
voted on. "It was a like the bar scene in Star Wars," he said.  And the ITU
 is not likely to stop its attempts to increase its power, cautioned
McDowel."
