Dear networkers from the Pacific region,
Internet interconnection is largely unregulated. However, in some countries, public regulation has emerged – be it through transparency rules, mandatory peering or licensing terms.
Currently, we lack an overview about where regulation exists and we know little about how it affects internet connectivity on a global scale.
To start filling this information gap, I have set up a short survey for network engineers, peering coordinators and network-savvy legal staffers. The goal is to crowdsource an initial overview about formal regulation of internet interconnection around the world.
I will publish the results under a Creative Commons license.
Also, please consider helping by forwarding the link to fellow interconnection professionals - think of your Facebook, VKontakte or LinkedIn groups, of chat channels and mailing lists. The more regional diversity, the better.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
