Submission + - Global Internet governance fight looms (dot-nxt.com) 2

Submitted by QuietLagoon
QuietLagoon writes: The global fight among governments over control of the Internet is heating up amid a flurry of documents, the opening of the United Nations' General Assembly (GA) and next week's Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Will the change in Internet governance result in states like China and Russia exerting more control over what is allowed on the Internet? The United States has so far comprehensively outmaneuvered attempts by other governments to seize control of the Internet, helped by the fact that it holds the keys and represents the status quo. But how long will it continue to be able to do so?

You must be American. The democratic process as we know it is extremely vulnerable to a dictatorship of minorities. During election times, those on the ballot will try to please as many as possible. If there's a small but vocal minority opposing, say, an adjusted taxation system, those on the ballot would rather avoid hot topics like these, during election time. Mr. Huitema is not a democracy-hater, he's a pragmatist.
