"The direction the ITU is headed in will hurt the developing world the most," said McDowell. "They fear a free ... Internet. They fear it politically, and they don't care about the economics."
Gonzalo San Gil's insight:
[Last month, a majority of the members of the International Telecommunications Union voted for a murky proposal, suggesting that the ITU has the power to regulate the Internet. The proposal was passed despite vociferous objections by the US and other developed countries. In the end, 55 countries refused to sign on, while 89 did sign the resolution. ...] Delete the scoop?

We now know more about what led to the impasse at the WCIT, and the scope of the fissure that it created. It is clear that nations will split 2 to 1 in favor of signing the ITR treaty. The majority of the signatories are the developing countries in Africa, Asia (including China), the Middle East, Latin America, and of course Russia. The refuseniks are primarily developed, western economies; they are concentrated in North America, Europe and Japan, although they were joined by India and some other developing countries.
Gonzalo San Gil's insight:
[UIT-fobia: Por qué descarriló la WCIT Milton Mueller Ahora sabemos más acerca de lo que llevó a un callejón sin salida en la WCIT, y del alcance de la fisura que se creó. Está claro que las naciones se dividieron 2 a 1 en favor de firmar el tratado ITR. La mayoría de los firmantes son los países en desarrollo de África, Asia (incluyendo China), el Medio Oriente, América Latina, y por supuesto Rusia. Los que rechazan el tratado son primariamente países occidentales desarrollados, concentrados en América del Norte, Europa y Japón, si bien se les unieron la India y otros países en desarrollo.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, 14 December 2012 (APCNews)
December 14, 2012 At the World Conference on International Telecommunication (WCIT) conference in Dubai, ITU member states tried to negotiate new International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs). We as civil society organizations want to express our concern at the lack of transparency, openness, and public consultations that marked the national preparatory processes and the WCIT discussion in Dubai, despite some efforts to open the process to civil society.
