A proposal that would potentially give countries sovereignty over Internet addresses has been resubmitted to the UN agency for telecommunications by a coalition including China and Russia, a day after the original plan was scrapped.
An amendment of the draft says that member states should have the right to manage all naming, numbering, addressing and identification resources used for international telecommunications services within their territories, according to statements by different delegations in the plenary of the World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai.
