This week at the Plenipotentiary Conference countries around the world will, among other things, establish the strategic plan of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a specialized agency of the United Nations. One of the key policy questions that could be decided in Busan is whether the ITU will expand its legal authority to include Internet policy issues. Notably, the member governments most interested in asserting ITU control over the Internet are also interested in placing restrictions on the Internet within their own borders.
