Why the UN's push to control the Internet isn't over

    "Europe voted for the bulk of the ITRs (International
     Telecommunications Regulations) in this space," noted Robert McDowell,
     an FCC Commissioner who was in attendance. Most European countries
     didn't support the final proposal because of the more controversial
     language inserted by Iran and Cuba.  "It could have been worse, in a
     way, but it also could have been better." The whole scenario was
     chaotic, with a lack of clarity over what would or wouldn't be voted
     on. "It was a like the bar scene in Star Wars," he said.  And the ITU
     is not likely to stop its attempts to increase its power, cautioned
     McDowell."
