My opinion is the UN should stay as far away from the internet includig the U.S. government from regulating the internet in any manner. Why? The internet was developed here in the U.S. in 1969 before the National Science Foundation released the Internet for public services. So that means U.S. taxpayers have been paying the government since 1969 for these services to be there for them.

The ITU is doing nothing about the abuse of internet dialup fraud that occurs as it is which involves telephone communications. There are still people out there who goes to a site unware that they are downloading a program that makes long distance charges to other other places without their knowledge.
ITU hasn't solved that problem.

The UN should just leave New York as they can't manage anything as it is. They might as well be on their own little island. See the IRAQ issue is pissing on their door right next to is IRAN as well. Manage nations is something the UN should be proud of doing but they might as well hang their heads between their legs and run. The UN is viewed as a global joke.

So should UN administer the internet. No it should not.
