[kictanet] Fwd: Link utilization

[Nelson Kwaje]

Hi James,

Thanks for sharing, I will read through it for compliance and future
reference
In principle I am usually very leery about the idea of an ISP determining
“Intended usage” for internet users. I think it just sounds not right.
Leave alone the Server monitoring clause gives the ISP a wide range of
authorities  powers over one’s transmitted content.

*"Service Monitoring*
*JTL is under no obligation to monitor a customer's usage, bandwidth,
transmissions and/or content of service.  However, JTL may monitor the
usage, bandwidth, transmissions and content of service periodically to (i)
comply with any necessary laws, regulations or other governmental requests
or (ii) operate service properly or to protect itself, its network and its
customers and subscribers.  JTL Faiba reserves the right to modify, reject
or eliminate any information residing on or transmitted to its server that
it, in its sole discretion, believes is unacceptable or in violation of
this AUP or any other terms and provisions applicable to service."*
