Net neutrality debate goes to the ITU WCIT

http://j.mp/PdZ99a  (Diplomacy)

   "ETNO's proposal, beyond asking for a multi-tiered Internet, also
    suggests a fundamental change in the Internet's economic model through
    the principle of 'sending party network pays', explaining how the
    gigantic revenues of the content industry could be distributed to the
    operators as well. This new 'you owe us money!' outcry has provoked
    strong opposition from the leading Internet business in the USA,
    including ETNO's fellow operator Verizon, and also the US government.
    A separate post is needed to discuss the economic aspects of the
    proposal, so I will not go into detail here."
