160 countries have sent their delegates to negotiate the contours of an agreement that will revolutionise the Internet, but some accuse WCIT of regression.

Civil societies and NGOs consumer lawyers in this case the users, have been excluded from this meeting.

The canvas on which to carry out economic and commercial transactions worth an annual GDP of about $4,000 billion, seems to concern the world's governments and their ability to completely control it.

To this end, it is likely, says the web media Voice of Russia, that new steps are taken by the conclave of Dubai, paying for services for email and direct communication whether of the written or audio visual kind like Skype .

Rebelling against measures that they consider draconian and highly detrimental to their economic interests, the giants of the Net, Google at their head, have arranged online petitions against the conference and its form and content.
      
One notes that countries like Russia, China and Saudi Arabia are among the strongest supporters of a full state control over internet for advancing their political or religious pretexts as is the case of Saudi Arabia.
