Observations on the NEW Internet Economy
The issue and the challenge is not simply the Internet.
- As they say in the U.S.: “It’s the economy stupid.”
The Internet “sectors” are interdependent.
- Regulating one Internet “sector” will adversely affect the growth and development of the other sectors.
The dynamism of the Internet Economy comes in part from the “anarchy” of a large number of small companies that compete.
Educated workforce
- Education is critical
VoIP and IP networks and circuits are more cost effective than circuit-switched networks
Compensation mechanisms used in VoIP agreements tend to be more flexible and simpler than those used by traditional switched networks and operators (i.e. accounting rates)
VoIP and IP networks and operators seek to provide latest value added services

The Advantages of International Internet Telephony Networks: Costs and Flexibility
We convert circuit voice into packetized data. VoIP is platform for value-added services.
We are a carrier’s carrier.
Will never provide service to consumers.
