ITU control is not about standardisation, piracy, or governance. As with everything, its about money and power. Oppressive governments want to de-anonymize users & enable greater censorship. Poorer countries want to charge for data transmissions - ostensibly to fund their own internet build outs.* Europe's ISPs want to tax the large American internet companies.
* These same countries profited by charging international calling fees which have been greatly reduced by VoIP. Many of them have corrupt governments who use these fees as a source of international currency.
