[kictanet] WCIT DAY 1: Internet Users Shouldn’t Have to Pay the Price of This International Treaty

[Baiju Shah]

Listers,

Logically, yes to voice related traffic, but data should be left alone for the moment as we already being charged by the ISPs and who in return pay the network operators, if the telco infrastructure players are not making their end meet they need to go away and review their business models. In austerity a lot of the European governments end have open up their process to allow for innovation and it is the same ethos the network operators need to adapt to. 

Therefore, in my opinion they need review their business model inside out rather trying to regulate the Internet data flow. 

If any of this guys need some help sort out their stakeholders they new to engage experts like Efficio or CDG who can integrate innovation within the business processes and provide the required efficiency within organisations.

Thanks,

Best Regards,

An op-ed by Sally Shipman Wentworth, Internet Society (ISOC)

"Contrary to some headlines: The UN is not trying to “take over the Internet.”

But this treaty could fundamentally alter the way traffic flows across the Internet, and may even create new barriers to access. This is because some of the signatory nations have suggested the treaty not be limited to telecommunications traffic but should be expanded to include regulations for Internet traffic. In this case, the WCIT presents an opportunity for governments to reintroduce old regulations and maybe apply a more centralized nation-based order to the Internet.".
