[Chapter-delegates] Shutdown of Skype on our Mobile Broadband Internet Access

[Grigori Saghyan]

Dear Eric,
some bad news from Russia.
Yesterday one of the largest cell operator in Russia - MTC- have sent a
proposal   to the ministry of communications. The idea of the proposal
is to issue a special licenses for Skype and  Google  for their VoIP
services  and collect money from these companies for VoIP services.
You can translate this information from  Russian on
http://lenta.ru/news/2013/05/27/skype/
As you understand, lot of countries, who have signed well known ITRs,
have similar approaches with Russia, and can implement  Russian practice.
