Well, probably time someone actually said it. It makes more sense than some global government conspiracy, however: the fact that NCC had a happy-clappy "very cordial" meeting with SOCA (yes, the Internet is Serious and Organised Crime in the UK) makes me wonder.
One of the tasks the NCC is mandated by the NCC members to do is "make sure that the governments of our region understands how the Internet works, how Internet self-regulation works, and that it's better to leave us alone". This is why those good people attend ITU meetings, meet with LEAs, etc. - to make sure those "political accidents" that everybody is afraid of do *not* happen. There's serious dangers here, like "why should a private entity be allowed to rule address governance in Europe? The european commission and the national governments are much better suited to do that!" - and the NCC works togethe with these folks to make them see that our way *works* and we need no extra regulation...
