- Pirate Party (Civil Liberties)Due to pressure from some states, the ITU proposed to decree Deep Packet Inspection for enabling the prosecution of copyright violations and to strengthen copyright itself. Thus, an effective tool for internet censorship would be crafted.
The standard has been signed by 89 delegations, 55 declined to sign at that time. Many of the declining delegations announced they would consider it “at home” first and then to decide after. It is alarming, that such resolutions made are apparently not seen as problematical at first sight.

- PúblicoSurprised? How About Incompetent?
If director general Hamadoun Toure, after hiding his agenda, and holding a vote after saying he wanted consensus, is surprised by this outcome, then I would have to say the ITU has incompetent leadership. And since we have a free and open Internet today, I can express my opinion.
As always, the opinions expressed here are my own, and do not reflect that of my employers, past, present or future.

Summary of outcome from WCIT-12 conference . . .
● WCIT WATCH: Disaster averted, but still a lot not to like in the new ITRs' ~ Access Now, Policy Team
December 14, 2012 ― "The world’s governments just concluded the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) where they updated the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs), a binding international treaty on telecommunications provision and interoperability. In the end, the government-controlled conference produced a text that crossed red lines for several states, from both the developed and developing world, who have said they will either not sign or need to consult their capitals. Still, many of the most problematic proposals failed to make it into the final draft."

internet services are the backbone to public communications in america. under no circumstances should a foreign power dictate governmental regulations on a product created by america and every human has some type of unfettered use. humans communicating is natural and by extention any communications interfaces we use should be just as free as if we are talking. #freeandopen

Global Treaty on Telecommunications being prepared
https://www.cdt.org/issue/ITU
"…The worldwide protests over SOPA in the US and ACTA in EU make clear that a large, global civil society constituency has emerged that may be deeply suspicious about any process that appears to be a deal cut between powerful private interests behind closed doors. This suspicion is magnified if the regulatory decisions at issue could have long lasting impact on the information society and the ways in which ordinary citizens use the Internet."
