Oh boy, can we say, "it's early days"? The UN has been around for about twice as long as the internet. The UN has full time paid-up governments battling, against people who are mainly interested in downloading films from YouTube.<p>The ITU has surely been around (in spirit if not in reality) since they were laying telegraph poles in the 19th century.<p>And the "victor" in round 1 of this fight is the US government!<p>We have so much more to do ...

Why is letting the US (and hence the record labels/Hollywood) control the Internet a good thing?
