We’re trying to stop the UN from regulating the Internet, Ambassador Kramer says

A U.N. conference that kicked off today in Dubai has sparked fear of Internet censorship in the U.S. -- something U.S. Ambassador Terry Kramer said he is doing everything in his power to prevent.

“Nothing regarding the Internet do we want subject to U.N. review and regulation,” Kramer told FoxNews.com.

Monday marked the first day of an 11-day conference. Kramer, who leads the U.S. delegation at the conference, said that the first day had “gone well” and so far delegates are “still in the early stage, talking about what should be reviewed when.” No specific regulations have been debated yet.

But regulations likely to come up soon are far reaching with signification ramifications, ranging from changes to the way web addresses like ".com" are distributed to charging websites for sending information (for example, a company like Google or Amazon could be required to pay cable companies a charge every time someone used their site.)

How about telling them that they obviously have too much time and money and we are cutting our dues

How about telling them to get the hell out and not one single $ more to them or their commie cronies?

BS. The US Moslem government supports the takeover.

Would someone, anyone, please explain why the hell we need the UN in the first place? they are a “do nothing” organization that has been sucking the $ out of WE, the tax payers for years. IMO they should be run out of this country as non-effective and go their own way WITHOUT the American dollars. What have they ever done to promote peace in the world. Seems they are ineffective where ever they go. Useless bunch of self appointed “do nothings”.
