DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A major U.S. delegation is in Dubai to lead opposition to possible new Internet regulations at a U.N. conference.
The U.N.'s International Telecommunications Union hopes to reach a broad consensus to revise codes not updated since 1988 — before the Internet became a key part of global communications.
Each of the 193 nations at the 11-day meeting can propose regulatory changes. Organizers say the gathering will focus on issues such as Web security and expanding Internet services in developing countries.
