The ITU conference is held under the UN flag in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) until Friday, 14th December
NGOs are increasingly active, as several authoritarian regimes like Russia and the United Arab Emirates are trying to impose their views to have total control of the government Internet via a binding international treaty: they are designed and rewriting the ITRs (International telecommunications Regulations) treated in this sense, such a treaty governing the Internet since 1988.
since its inception, the Internet is a powerful tool for expression and a great power against citizens that allows everyone to share their ideas and put pressure on companies, but also political leaders, with a significant impact. And this is explained in a simple :. Internet is governed by its users and some associations, non-profit, not by governments
Before the Dubai conference, the Russian position, advocating Internet is under the aegis of UN, was the subject of harsh criticism, particularly from the United States of America. At the conference, Russia held on this subject, saying the conference to challenge the current powers of ICANN, which is the American organization responsible for domain names. The UAE has also presented a somewhat similar position. On the other hand, the Chinese authorities have not intervened in a street in the negotiations. For a long time China has tried to develop its own Internet and does not necessarily see the control mechanisms to be developed and that it will also need to apply to his nation.
The United States founded the ICANN model and its "multi-stakeholder approach" is not much in the negotiations, possibly keep their energy for the final discussions . As for the EU, it has not yet taken an official position.
If totalitarian regimes manage to influence other nations, the Internet could become more expensive and much slower, but much less open. Internet users would then be more likely to subscribe to a VPN service that secures and protects access to the Internet, anonymously any Web connection, anywhere in the world.
