Analyst's note:  Absolutely must read. Yes, I thought this one might get your attention.  Can we count on our current federal gov't to do the right things with this?  I would NOT bet my pay check ....  Although it is said to be an unpopular idea with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in Congress, with Hillary & Obama who seem to like one-world operations, who knows what backroom deals they might make.  They don't tend to follow the desires of Congress.  My message .... we'd best watch this one closely.

"House lawmakers will consider an international proposal next week to give the United Nations more control over the Internet.

The proposal is backed by China, Russia, Brazil, India and other UN members, and would give the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) more control over the governance of the Internet.

[....] Next week’s hearing is expected to bring more attention in the U.S. to the measure, which would give the UN more control over cybersecurity, data privacy, technical standards and the Web’s address system. It would also allow foreign government-owned Internet providers to charge extra for international traffic and allow for more price controls."

[....] some governments feel excluded from Internet policymaking and want more control over the process.“And let's face it, strong-arm regimes are threatened by popular outcries for political freedom that are empowered by unfettered Internet connectivity,”
