Who should control the Internet? - Future Tense - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
A growing number of countries want to change the way the Internet is controlled. Opponents claim it’s about greater government control. But just how serious is the threat?
Ever heard of the International Telecommunications Union? No? Well it’s a relatively obscure UN body which some countries are pushing to take greater control of the Internet (read China, Russia, Iran). The idea is to centralise governance.
Those opposed claim it’s about greater government control of the Internet, and they’ve launched a pre-emptive attack ahead of the ITU’s next meeting in December 2012. But just how serious is the threat? We take you to the first Australian Internet Governance Forum.
