Chinese proposal to meter Internet traffic

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8417680.stm

China wants to meter all internet traffic that passes through its 
borders, it has emerged.

The move would require international agreement - but it is being 
discussed by the United Nations body in charge of internet standards. 

....

"An ITU spokesman said: "The ITU has no plans to modify the BGP 
protocol, which is not an ITU-T standard."


"Bogus" because it's a bad idea or because the reporter significantly 
misunderstood/misrepresented what the suggestion is actually about?
