[Air-L] WEBCAST MAR 23 – CITI Governance – Fair Share or an Internet Traffic Tax? The EU Telcos vs Big Content

[Joly MacFie]

After the video streaming panel at State of the Net last week, I asked the
moderator why she hadn't raised fair share. She said all the panelists had
violently agreed in the prep session that it should not be mentioned!

'.

In Europe there is *heated debate
<https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/consultations/future-electronic-communications-sector-and-its-infrastructure>
*whether
a telco-proposed shift to a Sending-Party-Network-Pays (SPNP) system
comprises 'fair compensation' or is in fact an 'Internet Traffic Tax.' It
is at odds with current peering practices, would require further
regulations that could favor incumbent carriers, and an EU shift to SPNP
could ripple across the the global Internet. Today's participants will lay
out the merits of the respective arguments, assess the compatibility of
SPNP with other policy frameworks and objectives, discuss alternative
options for funding broadband rollouts and digital transformation, and, in
particular, consider the potential implications of EU adoption for the
global Internet environment and digital governance.
