Help Combat the "UN is Taking Over the Internet" Myth

The International Telecommunications Union will convene the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai December 3-14. The landmark conference will review the current International Telecommunication Regulations. As the time of the conference approaches, you may see stories in your local news incorrectly labeling the conference as a meeting that will enable future UN control of the Internet. Don’t let these myths go unchallenged! Write a letter to the editor using our template and get the facts on the ITU here.
