Russia demands broad UN role in Net governance, leak reveals
Not sure if this is the right forum to post it, but I see TheVerge isn't covering this, and they should, as it's worse than SOPA and ACTA combined (global and much worse), and it's going to happen 2 weeks from now.
Censorship, mass surveillance, Internet disconnections and even the death of net neutrality. All of it is going to be proposed by ITU 2 weeks from now.
"Leaked document from upcoming treaty negotiations reveals Russia wants transfer of authority over Net to national governments. UN's increasingly shrill denials that treaty has anything to do with taking over Net are ringing ever more hollow."

From ITU blog's itself about wanting to kill net neutrality, while masking it as paying for "premium services" such as watching videos, using P2P connectiosn, etc:
