Observations on the NEW Internet Economy The issue and the challenge is not simply the Internet. - As they say in the U.S.: Its 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 Source: A telecom scorecard : Consumer costs for basic services in the Americas. Alexis de Tocqueville Institution. Feb http: 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 carriers carrier.
