Kofi's Internet Play

Let's just say I'm not convinced that the UN has no intention of trying to pry control over the Internet's core functions from the US.

The United Nations is made up over over 190 countries. Of the over 190 countries, there are quite a few that impose significant restrictions on the use and transmission of information. China, Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia all restrict access to some websites. China and Egypt have arrested bloggers who have spoken out against the government.

The threat to the Internet isn't from the United States, but from all those totalitarian regimes that know that the free flow of information can undermine their power and authority.

But to mention that would be an affront to all those nations that think freedom of speech refers solely to those in power - and all else in the country have no such right.

In fact, if you simply keep totalitarian governments out of the process, everyone would have access.
