and Rod Ullens too
|
|
i will have you, john todd and shockey in that discussion
|
|
|
we should have that debate
|
|
|
For a number of reasons
|
|
|
On balance I think that we like ITU telephone numbers best
|
|

|
|
|
I think that or view is that an end point for services is the same, irrespective of whether it is identified by an ITU assigned number or an IETF URI or even a propritary 'Buddyname'
|
|
|
The problem is that we are setting ourselves up as an INTERNATIONAL operator so we cannot escape from the devilish detail
|
|
|
about wireless settlements with in the EU member states
|
|
|
that is why Viviane Reading is advocating so hard
|
|
|
yes but you aren't so lucky when dealing with intercountry
|
|
|
It is clear from the European viewpoint that the current N American system is overly complex and is based upon legacy procedures
|
|
|
Is the 'tax' somewhat less for a nomadic/mobile service?
|
|
|
so as to force reform
|
|
|
What about the state governments who are addicted to their state taxes on telephone fees?
|
|
|
make it the worst model that exists today
|
|
|
that says absent bill and keep
|
|
|
i know there is a poison pill position internal to one of them
|
|
|

|
|
|
So we have AT&T, Verizon and Qwest *supporting* the bill-and-keep reform... and we have the rurual carriers opposing it?
|
|
Did you see that even Microsoft calls the US Broadband act a total failure
|
|
|
but i will ask
|
|
|
i know you living in a rural area would be a significant
|
|
|
Sorry... my connection died... was my question answered around whether there is any value in *individuals* sending in comments?<br/>
|
|
|
Get it dealt with quickly before the administration changes!
|
|
|
Right... Jan 20, 2009 is the end of the Bush administration.
|
|
|
i am sure its the packet sniffer between us
|
|
|
no worries
|
|
|
(Sorry for the poor audio today... having IT issues.)
|
|
|
Can *individuals* submit comments as well?
|
|
|
Is there a deadline for these comments?
|
|

|
|
