Thank you Carlton, it most certainly is. This is relevant to the ETNO Proposal to the WCIT and at the same time there are multiple interpretations to many of the red zones for instance. Classic examples are jurisdictions where you have extremely low penetration rates, that is teledensity, internet penetration etc due to having only one provider often government run because no investor will want to go there due to multiple reasons, namely, lack of having a tangible return on investment on your CAPEX and taking 15 years to see RoIs as was reported in a recent Alcatel Lucent/Bell Labs study. For these jurisdictions, it would mean that they would prioritise certain traffic over others etc etc. There are no easy answers but good for discussion nevertheless. Access, availability and affordability remain challenges and countries are slowlly trying to address it by building stronger and more diverse backbones etc. What is interesting though was the proposal by the US FTC for a USF on global submarine cables.

Ah yes, very interesting indeed. Especially considering the FCC has consistently opposed taxes levied on inbound voice traffic, as in the case of the Jamaican levy which principally funds our UAF. Maybe a 'double feint', that: think about it and you could make the case it is a complement to the ETNO proposal. [BTW, there was a wide-ranging discussion on the issue here at the LACIGF. We had a long argy bargy to decide definition.] - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

Bottom line is it is market economics. Lol @ argy margy. We also had interesting discussions at the recent Pacific Broadband Forum in Fiji. nothing is ever cut and dried in a world where there is tremendous diversity. Peace :)
