If this approval by the ITU is true - then it is no surprise at all, but
what one would expect. What else has the ITU in the past ever been than
an instrument that supports capitalist interests and commodification of
the ICT and telecommunications industries?
DPI can advance large-scale monitoring of citizens by the state-capital
complex that is connected by a right-wing state ideology of fighting
crime and terror by massive use of surveillance technologies and a
neoliberal ideology of capitalist organisations that want to make a
profit out of surveillance and want to hinder the undermining of
intellectual property rights.

Hi list, Nick from techPresident here. If I could tap into your hive-mind
intelligence for a moment to help me be more precise about explaining why this
is an issue, I would appreciate it ...
Governments, intelligence organizations and assorted nogoodniks already use
deep-packet inspection, so the declaration of a standard for DPI comes off as
vaguely Orwellian but not news. I'm searching for a way to explain the
privacy-advocate position on this is both accurately and concisely.
The sense I get from CDT's blog post is that there are three reasons why this
is more than just creepy in principle:
1. The standard outlines ways that, in the ITU's view, ISPs should structure
their operations so that highly invasive surveillance can function;
2. Under current governance, this standard could be as widely ignored as the
<blink> tag, but ISPs could be forced to comply if the ITU becomes a
must-follow standards-making body for the Internet — meaning all traffic in every ITU
member state, in this extreme example, would be vulnerable by design;
3. On principle, IETF and W3C don't address standards for surveillance,
highlighting another way the ITU is ideologically removed from the way the
Internet is now governed.
Am I on target here?

ITU Approves Deep Packet Inspection
Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 04, @08:19PM
from the inspect-my-encryption-all-you'd-like dept.
dsinc sends this quote from Techdirt about the International
Telecommunications Union's ongoing conference in Dubai that will have
an effect on the internet everywhere:
The WCIT is a "diplomatic conference" for the rules governing the ITU,
the ITRs. It seems wrong to mix that with ongoing specific
standardisation work of the ITU.
Anyway, interesting discussions over at circleid.com:
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20121203_wcit_off_to_a_flying_start/
Apparently ITU fellows are disgruntled that they cannot control the
media coverage and complain about all the "misinformation".
Best,
André
