This larger struggle is playing out in many places, including the ITU, which will convene 190 countries in Dubai in December to update an international telecommunications treaty first adopted in 1988. Although many of the treaty’s details are highly technical, involving the routing of telecommunications, various governments have submitted proposals to amend the treaty that include provisions aimed at facilitating government censorship of the Internet.
更大范围的斗争正在各个角落开展。比如ITU将于12月在迪拜召开大会，190个成员国将修订更新1988年出台的国际通信条约。该条约的很多内容都是高度技术性的，涉及到通信的路由问题，但许多国家的政府都递交了修订条约以便于政府对互联网进行审查的建议。
