India's proposal for government control of Internet to be discussed in
Geneva

http://j.mp/JuqvXo  (The Hindu)

  "In its proposal submitted to the General Assembly in New York on
   October 26, 2011, India has argued for a radical shift from the
   present model of multi-stakeholder led decision-making, to a purely
   government-run multilateral body that would relegate civil society,
   private sector, international organisations as well as technical and
   academic groups to the fringes in an advisory role. The proposal has
   been floated sans any public consultation, despite the move impacting
   the country's 800 million mobile and 100 million Internet users."
