Who will control the internet?
Around 189 countries will be attending the summit in Geneva, where policymakers are due to agree best practices and standards for the Internet and other information technologies.
The summit's Web site (www.itu.int/wsis/index.html) says the meeting will aim to "develop and foster a clear statement of political will and a concrete plan of action for achieving the goals of the information society."
Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi of the Los Angeles-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said two camps were forming over the wording of a key article to be adopted at the World Summit on the Information Society in December.
