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. See this: Christian Fuchs: Implications of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Internet Surveillance for Society. http://www.projectpact.eu/documents-1/%231_Privacy_and_Security_Research_Pap...

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 b 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?

The final version of the standard should show up here... eventually:

ITU Approves Deep Packet Inspection

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,

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".
