Outlawing Creativity

The Hill reports on the intentions of many countries via the ITU to take control over the Internet. They state:

Proposals to expand the U.N.'s International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) authority over the Internet could come up at a treaty conference in Dubai in December. European telecommunications companies are pushing a plan that would create new rules that would allow them to charge more to carry international traffic. 

 Just a reminder to all, back just 20 years ago it costs $5.00 per minute to place a call to or from Paris. It was not costs or capacity it was this same group of internationalists who collect massive salaries and destroy creativity. With luck if they get control we will all become Greece!

I spent a decade finding ways around this using the Internet as one element. Letting the ITU and the UN of all useless entities take control of high tech is one of the most absurd ideas ever conceived of by the Genus Homo.

They state:

The proposal by the European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association could force websites like Google, Facebook and Netflix to pay fees to network operators around the world. 

 These operators already get paid as I have noted many times, by their customers. This is intrusion to the extreme and will set society back even more so than what happened with the banks!
