Leaks show how badly UN ITU internet regulation talks in Dubai
threaten web freedom

http://j.mp/TMflzc  (Guardian)

    "The Dubai meeting is another treaty negotiation, aimed at bringing
     cross-border telecom rule up to date for the first time since 1988.
     The ITU's secretary general, Hamadoun Toure, has insisted that the
     goal is not to regulate speech; countless critics believe otherwise,
     and the best evidence, given typical ITU secrecy during the process,
     suggests the critics are right."
