The World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT 2012) of the ITU is to be held during December 3 - 14 in Dubai to review the current International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs).
The ITU has regulated telegraphs, telephones since 1865, coordinates the shared global use of radio spectrum and has a role to play in the assignment of satellite orbits.
Now the ITU seeks to include Internet Governance in its sphere of control. There are several proposals to be discussed at the WCIT in a closed setting, to bring about adverse changes to the way the Internet works.
