It states<http://thehill.com/images/stories/blogs/flooraction/jan2012/sconres50.pdf> that the US would "continue working to implement the position of the United States on internet governance that clearly articulates the consistent and unequivocal policy of the United States to promote a global internet free from government control." ----SNIP---- "The 1988 treaty does indeed need an update, but US and Canada along with several EU nations<http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/30/eu-stands-firm-with-the-us-to-oppose-inte...> have expressed a strong desire to limit any new policies from impacting how the web is run.
