It's rare that ordinary internet users need to care about what goes on at the United Nations, but this is definitely one of those times, if only because the UN's telecom arm is currently holding hearings in Dubai that could change the way the global network functions in some important ways. Although fears of what some have described as a UN "takeover" of the internet are over-blown, some of the proposals the telecom committee will be considering could have ramifications for the way we use the internet, and perhaps more importantly how we pay for it.
Only a matter of time before this was going to happen. Wikileaks domino effect.
