In a historical moment of unanimous agreement -- an eye-opening 397-0 vote -- the U.S. House of Representatives voted today to approve a resolution pushing the U.S. government to fight the United Nations in its bid to control and change the Internet at the WCIT-12 summit, currently under way in Dubai.
The unanimous vote is meant to send a signal -- as a show of strength -- to other countries meeting at the telecommunications summit that both the White House and its lawmakers oppose any role the U.N. might take in Internet governance or regulation.
The WCIT-12 summit is where the U.N.'s little-known ITU is facilitating updates and changes to global telecommunications regulations that would place the Internet under the control of nation states.
U.S. now 'totally unified' in opposition of U.N. Internet governance
