THE FEAR: The U.N.'s International Telecommunications Union has no powers to instantly change how the Internet operates. But the U.S. argued that U.N. codes sanctioning greater government roles in the Internet could be used as justification for more Web controls in places such China as Iran.
BACKGROUND: At the Dubai meeting, representatives met for the first revisions of global telecom rules since 1988.
