US opposes international Web regulations

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — American envoys say they are working with other nations on a proposal to drop all discussions on Internet regulations from a UN telecommunications conference in Dubai.

US representatives held meetings Tuesday on the proposal to take all Internet-related discussions off the table.
