Submission + - Russia And China Withdraw Bid for Internet Control (techweekeurope.co.uk)

judgecorp writes: "Russia, China and other nations have withdrawn proposals to take control over the Internet within their borders. The proposals, handed to the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) on Friday, caused widespread dismay and protest. The WCIT event in Dubai, run by the UN agency ITU, is working on new International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) which are due for their first revision since the emergence of the mass Internet. The line-up of nations wanting to formalise their power to restrict the Internet included Russia, China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan and Egypt. Their proposal has been withdrawn without explanation, an ITU spokesperson confirmed."

I logged in just for this!

Did your 2.5 year old device stop working. Has it become a brick because you can't load iOS 6 onto it.

I don't think so, it still has ALL of the functionality that you paid for originally.

Apple did not promise extra functionality when you purchased it and is not required to supply extra functionality.
