[discuss] ITU - Internet related Resolutions

[Bill Woodcock]

Internal division. CGI is on the side of right, ANATEL does what it can to spite them. ITU is intergovernmental, so ANATEL gets to make Brazil look foolish in this venue, despite CGI's admirable work. Brazil cuts off its nose to spite its face.

What caused Brazil to be part of IBSA and why is it on the wrong side?
