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
The Advantages of International Internet
Telephony Networks: Costs and Flexibility
 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
