John, I like your approach - simply no comments I think the way as your legislation guys decided to follow can be absolutely wrong. My opinion that the real problem laid in financial issues with developing countires and US native commercial interests that you (not you personally - of course) aimed to protect All this discussion have only financial background - no more. Dima PS You can reference not only to magazines - but more on House of Representatives which expressed their opinions more openly. On Aug 4, 2012, at 12:47 AM, John Curran wrote:

The U.S. House of Representatives voted late Thursday to send a message to the United Nations' International Telecommunication Union that the Internet doesn't need new international regulations. The vote was unanimous: 414-0
Unanimous? I didn't think this congress could agree the earth is round unanimously.
It is can be useful (particularly during an election year) to make certain that there is no doubt regarding the resolve of government with respect to positions being taken in international negotiations.
In this case, I believe that the message is now quite clear...
