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.

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.". http://www.wired.com/opinion/2012/12/internet-users-shouldnt-have-to-pay-the... _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/baiju%40tele2media.com The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
