A wide range of activists rejoiced in late 2012 when dozens of countries refused to sign a new global treaty on internet governance. The activists saw the treaty, crafted under the auspices of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), as giving governments pernicious powers to meddle with and censor the internet. The internet is nothing if not an exercise in interconnection. Its politics thus seems to call out for a similar convergence, and connections between the disparate interest groups that make up the net movement are indeed getting stronger. It is plausible that people who spend much of their lives online may come to feel strongly about the technological and ideological infrastructure that they depend on. Many net activists prize an ideal of net neutrality because they fear turning the internet into a toll road that limits both expression and experimentation.
