[Chapter-delegates] News from the front

[ISOC]

Fred:

Im not saying we should not give infinite bandwidth, but to applications 
hogging the overall performance of peers due to which massive multimillion 
dollar networks are being rolled out even in the US should be excercised a 
ROT/ROF. Applications like example SKYPE / SIP / VOIP which are also 
affecting worldwide telcos. It is true that if we limit any application , 
the definition of Internet would not be the same but with Global emerging 
peers having their policies regulated by their authorities the debate has 
risen to disallow many types of traffic. The idea to support ROT/ROF (Right 
of Tranport / Right of Flow) could create a total convergence of Telecom to 
Internet as it would be adding value to the existent idea of the Internet.

I have a question, if my local ISP disallows some kind of traffic or the 
National Peering Network, Internet loses its definitions but it is a concern 
which is still within a grey area, is there any global authority which can 
re-regulate in such an event.

Your comments please?
