India's proposal for government control of Internet to be discussed in Geneva

http://j.mp/JuqvXo  (The Hindu)

   "In its proposal submitted to the General Assembly in New York on
    October 26, 2011, India has argued for a radical shift from the
    present model of multi-stakeholder led decision-making, to a purely
    government-run multilateral body that would relegate civil society,
    private sector, international organisations as well as technical and
    academic groups to the fringes in an advisory role. The proposal has
    been floated sans any public consultation, despite the move impacting
    the country's 800 million mobile and 100 million Internet users."
