A simple guide to the ITU’s WCIT: Wired UK

Olivia Solon wrote a useful article for Wired UK on the upcoming World Conference on International Telecommunications.  The article lays out all the players, the issues, the criticisms, etc., in an easy to read format.

Apparently there is a new website on the WCIT leaking scene.  They are calling themselves “.nxt.”  You can find their website here, which apparently contains all of the WCIT proposals and WCIT news in general.

Don’t forget WCITLeaks.

Finally, PCWorld’s Jennifer Baker reports that the European Parliament (from the EU) had “loudly called for negotiators to block attempts by the ITU to gain ultimate control over the Internet at [the WCIT conference].”
