McTim - Correct on the first point. However your implied relief at the non-binding nature of the TA has an invalid premise as the TA ( Section35.a. which states "Policy authority for Internet-related public policy issues is the sovereign right of States") was just stating an obvious point and so the issue of binding is immaterial. It is like stating "the sun rises in the East". Pakistan is able to do what it is doing because the whole thing is intrinsically "binding" irrespective of any formal pronouncements.

Governments are responsible for application of national laws as well as the welfare and security of the people they Govern. Even the Tunis agenda stated clearly that public policy regarding the Internet is the responsibility of souvreign states.
Good thing the TA is non-binding then ;-)
