This is of interest to all those who intend to start or are in the business of creating and owning content online.

This story which appears in the business daily highlights the pitfalls we face when business models start eroding and companies look for life lines without fully understanding what is disrupting their business models. 

This particular issue of telcos demanding that content providers like Google, Facebook and Ma3Racer pay them for access was a major bone of contention during WCIT12.

So what you think? 

Should we all pay the Telcos for the right to allow them to give their customers access to their content online? If this succeeds what is to stop Telkom Kenya or any other Telco to demand that if I want my little blog to be accessed by their customers I need to pay them access charges?
