Many thanks! I'm glad you like it - hard to translate the ITRs to real life so I'm glad to hear that the example worked. Cheers, Sally Sally Wentworth Internet Society +1 703 439 2146 wentworth@isoc.org www.isoc.org On Dec 4, 2012, at 10:23 AM, Davis Onsakia wrote:

Dear Grace,

This is a very nice piece done in a nice and easy to understand way explaining ITRs and clearly demonstrating (through a running example) the import of whatever might happen in Dubai.

Great piece Sally! Very insightful indeed.

Regards and many thanks, Davis M Onsakia

An op-ed by Sally Shipman Wentworth, Internet Society (ISOC)

"Contrary to some headlines: The UN is not trying to “take over the Internet.” But this treaty could fundamentally alter the way traffic flows across the Internet, and may even create new barriers to access. This is because some of the signatory nations have suggested the treaty not be limited to telecommunications traffic but should be expanded to include regulations for Internet traffic. In this case, the WCIT presents an opportunity for governments to reintroduce old regulations and maybe apply a more centralized nation-based order to the Internet.".
