@McTim:
I beg to differ on your first point. Ten out of thirteen of the Internet's root servers reside within the United States. If there's a global issue & some countries differ with it on it's stand / viewpoint, what would the U.S. from blocking traffic to those countries' websites?

There are no "real owners" of the Internet. it's a de-centralised network of networks, all communicating using TCP/IP.
, the ITU
meeting shall be the battle ground and bloody it will be worse than Muoroto or Syokimau evictions.
Hardly, it's a 10 day conference, which is a very short window in which to come to agreements.
In addition, it's a treaty conference in which nation states can "opt-out" of provisions they don't agree with.
If Google, Facebook, Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, Yahoo and their elk (note
all
are US based companies) decided to block all IP addresses beginning with "41" will we still be able to say that we have Internet access?
yes, but the likelihood of this happening is near as zero as it can possibly be.
From Waudo's post it is clear where we fall, as the so called developing countries, at the periphery of the battle field literally outside the stadium hanging from a shaky tree branch. The so called "tech giants"
will
arrive fully armed, the Chinese will bring their numbers and the Russians their nuclear, gas and diamond might, how will we arrive?
It's a one-nation one vote kind of thing, so the KE vote is equal to the US vote.
