Prep talks are already underway for the WSIS meeting in November. Several nations with tightly controlled media, such as ChinA, IRan and Saudi Arabia, plus a number of industrialized countries including [Switzer Land] and RussIa, would like to see the U.S. relinquish its control of the Internet... "This situation is very undemocratic, unfair and unreasonable," said [Sha Zukang], the ambassador from ChinA - which recently imposed new rules that allow only "healthy and civilized" news to be read by the nation's Internet users... An independent group exploring the Internet's future recently suggested that a U.N. body might be established to oversee the Web.
Update: oy, it looks like the EU is not helping.
