USA rejects ITU Telecom Treaty

http://j.mp/Te6WFI  (New York Times)

    In a moment of high drama at the end of nearly two weeks of talks
    on an international telecommunications treaty, the United States
    rejected a proposal negotiated by more than 190 countries on
    Thursday after delegates were unable to resolve an impasse over
    the Internet.  "It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce
    that the United States must communicate that it is unable to sign
    the agreement in its current form," Terry Kramer, head of the U.S.
    delegation, announced moments after a final draft had been
    approved by a majority of nations.
