Amidst acrimony, the two week long ITU's World Conference on International Telecommunications, W.C.I.T. ended in Dubai December 14 with the world body getting 89 countries to endorse a treaty that entrenches greater governmental oversight of the Internet. Those who attended the conference said chances are that the figure of signatories increases as time goes on.
ITU says the treaty will forge 'solid new framework for tomorrow's hyper-connected world'. But United States of America and the European block were reluctant to sign on to the agreement immediately while Russia, China and many African countries did.
