The main objective of the World Summit on the Information Society to be held this month in Tunisia is to ensure that poor countries get the full benefits that new information and communication technologies -- including the Internet -- can bring to economic and social development. But as the meeting draws nearer, there is a growing chorus of misinformation about it.
One mistaken notion is that the United Nations wants to "take over," police or otherwise control the Internet. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The United Nations wants only to ensure the Internet's global reach, and that effort is at the heart of this summit.
Strong feelings about protecting the Internet are to be expected. In its short life, the Internet has become an agent of revolutionary change in health, education, journalism and politics, among other areas. In the United Nations' own work for development, we have glimpsed only the beginning of the benefits it can provide: for victims of disaster, quicker, better-coordinated relief; for poor people in remote areas, lifesaving medical information; and, for people trapped under repressive governments, access to uncensored information as well as an outlet to air their grievances and appeal for help.

Yeh, right, Koff. Like we'd trust you.
Remember Food for Oil?
ICC?
No, thanks, Koff, the Internet is operating pretty well without UN controls.
The internet is however a threat to the UN. There are too many unfavorable stories about the UN that are crossing international borders.
Who cares what Koffi says; we are just waiting to see him hanged.
One of the major reasons they want to take it from us. Once Kofi seizes the net how long before FR becomes a banned "hate speech" site? Days? Hours?
Don't hold your breath, I'm afraid. More likely a comfortable retirement for the Moral Conscience of the World.
I'm a regular Paul Revere when it comes to telling people overseas about UN corruption.
Gee Kofi, I guess these quotes from here: http://www.wgig.org/docs/WGIGREPORT.doc (Final Report from the Working Group on Internet Governance) don't relly mean anything:
"Internet governance is the development and application by Governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet."
"It should be made clear, however, that Internet governance includes more than Internet names and addresses, issues dealt with by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN): it also includes other significant public policy issues, such as critical Internet resources, the security and safety of the Internet, and developmental aspects and issues pertaining to the use of the Internet."
If the UN wants the Internet to grow exponentially in third world countries providing many economic and social benefits, then they should ...
... do absolutely nothing.
The Internet seems capable of growing as fast as people want it to without interference from anyone.
The issues of terrorism websites, porn, spam and viruses do not need any help from the UN.
"There are also legitimate concerns about the use of the Internet to incite terrorism or help terrorists, disseminate pornography, facilitate illegal activities or glorify Nazism and other hateful ideologies."
Sorry Coffee Anus, the "glorify Nazism" red herring won't work . That my fine Ghanaian friend is called FREE SPEECH, like it or not. And what exactly are "other hateful ideologies", huh? Would Christianity be one when it denounces homosexuality? Or the Jewish ADL?
And as to "facilitate illegal activities" - would that include in your all knowing opinion, things like ... say buying firearms, oops in U.N. speak; "small arms", over the Internet? Never mind I know your answer, a$$wipe.
Oil for Food was Kash4Kofi.
Kofi has stated the desire for reliable UN funding; funding not dependent on US goodwill.
Your Internet can be a Continuous Revenue Stream
Kofi says the revenue is to feed the poor of Iraq bring Internet Access to the worlds poor countries.
F off and die!

Oh yeah, and then there is this:
gov·er·nance ( P ) Pronunciation Key (gvr-nns)
n.
1. The act, process, or power of governing; government: “Regaining a sense of the state is thus an absolute priority, not only for an effective policy against... terrorism, but also for governance itself” (Moorhead Kennedy).
2. The state of being governed.

He will be on the same speaking tours as bj making tons of money annoying our next republican president..........and living the life of a millionaire.............same as the clintoons.
LOL - Kofi has specifically called for a "bit tax" on internet traffic!!!
"The Internet seems capable of growing as fast as people want it to without interference from anyone."
Absolutely. Last night my wife and I were instant messenging with people in Iceland, Russia, Italy, Australia and here in the USA. We were all talking about world events, exactly the sort of thing the UN wants to keep a lid on.
Yep, to our UN betters you were engaging in "hate speech" which must be stopped. Of course they will permit legitimate political discourse, i.e. speech that praises the UN.
Why hasn't he been fired yet? There's absolutely no question he's a comptemptible crook. Everyone knows it. EVERYONE. Yet there he sits, trying to steal the internet. I feel like I'm going crazy. How can people be so stupid as to believe he doesn't want to steal it? HE WANTS TO STEAL IT.
