Leaked proposal reveals UN/ITU plans for Internet taxes

http://j.mp/LEvK70  (CNET)

  "The leaked documents (No. 1 No. 2) were posted by the Web site
   WCITLeaks, which was created by two policy analysts at the free-market
   Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Arlington, Va, who
   stress their Wikileaks-esque project is being done in their spare
   time. The name, WCITLeaks, is a reference to the ITU's December summit
   in Dubai, the World Conference on International Telecommunications, or
   WCIT."

If the UN/ITU do for the Internet what the UN has done for world peace
and prosperity, we might as well go back to tin cans and string.
