U.S. Officials Emphasize Opposition to ETNO Proposal, While ITU Officials Protest 'Myth' of Internet Takeover Plan

摘要

The U.S. is "unequivocally opposed" to a proposal by the European Telecom Network Operators (ETNO) for changes in the international telecommunications regulations (ITRs) that would establish a "sending-party-pays" regime for providers' exchange of Internet traffic, Lawrence E. Strickling, head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, said in a recent speech.
