US May Not Have the Muscle to Stop Internet Rule-Making

The United States and Canada faced a setback on Wednesday as a joint proposal from the two nations, which was also backed by some European countries, failed to win approval at an international meeting. The proposal aimed to protect the Internet from international regulation, and its rejection could mean tough negotiations will follow in the rewriting of the telecoms treaty. Currently about 2,000 delegates from 193 countries are in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai for the World Conference on International Telecommunications.
