'We're From the ITU and We Want To Regulate You'?
posted by michael on Tuesday January 14 2003, @05:11AM
Yoshio Utsumi, the ITU Secretary General, has been suggesting that what the world needs is a global cyberlaw agreement. Utsumi's speech at a regional
meeting of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), November
7-9, in Bucharest in this vein is available in .doc format. (More on the upcoming World Summit on the
Information Society. First plenary will be in Geneva Dec. 10-12, 2003.)
This week Utsumi repeated his call for a global cyberlaw
agreement at WSI, suggesting topics could include Internet taxation, freedom of speech, IP rights, and
privacy.

OK, maybe the title of this item is slightly unfair. Maybe it would have been fairer to say "We're from the ITU and we're here to help you congregate to regulate yourself in an undemocratic manner"? Small comfort.
