Why is the WCIT so controversial?
In the past, use of the word “telecommunications”
Now, use of the acronym ICT – Information and Communication Technology Not limited to telecommunications Also includes “information technology”
13

Information and Communication Technology A term used by the United Nations
Now, use of the acronym ICT – Information and Communication Technology Not limited to telecommunications Also includes “information technology”
The Internet including all its content?
14
Why is the WCIT so controversial?
Proposed new per-usage billing Filtering and Control of information Licensing? Control of the ICT goes to
Governments Regulation using multilateralism,
not multi-stakeholderism
15
How do members take part?
Some governments have arranged a multi-stakeholder working group
Some countries have kept the work in government and telecom hands
Some administrations have made proposals
All member countries will send delegations to Dubai
16
Possible outcomes
There is likely to be two main points of view: multi-stakeholderism versus multi-lateralism
Some geopolitics might affect the negotiations
It is hoped that if a deal can be reached, the ITRs will be then proposed to all national countries for ratification
If no deal then a final vote might happen
17
After the WCIT?
Some countries might propose to ratify the ITRs nationally
Some might not ratify anything What about the Internet?
It might remain the same It might be split
Negotiations will continue
