That's an internal handout from an ITU retreat at which they discuss how to
camouflage their attack. Their summary of the Internet's position is, of
course, highly biased, so you shouldn't take it at face value. I (and plenty

would be happy to try to address any questions.
The EU, US, and all other OECD countries have banded together to try to protect
the Internet:
