Sorry Fredy, but you are living in a care bear world ?
Do you think some people build an intense national backbone
You were @GPF last week, when Martin asked : Who want this to be regulated ? And Who want to have his peering controled ? why you didn't raise your hand ?
In my memory, no one did.
I didn't get my peering with France Telecom, so I get in touch with them and I have a fair contrat and I have a good backbone quality. In my market, I need for now direct access to them, and that's life.
My business is not made on the "wishes" to have free peering with my incumbent.
I'm not saying I want this regulated, in fact I prefer to have it as it is and keep authorities out of the game. That's why I didn't raise my hand. But: Fact is that competition commissions and regulators are investigating against incumbents and such. They could have avoided this easily if they would have been more cooperative and keep their policy less restrictive. I don't blame anyone who is filing against someone who is abusing market power. Now, obviously, the French regulator sees the trouble and trys to understand and 'regulate' it the way they do it usually. From our perspective certainly not a good way, but why blaming the regulator? Blame those which made it all happen! Read: the restrictive incumbents which put obstacles in the way of everyone else. You've choosen to pay to get obstacles away. Others prefer to call the court. And probably the majority suffers in silence, especially the countless broadband users which actually pay our salaries and make our industry happening. Regulators should primarily care about those, and therefore it's good that the French regulator actually made a move, however arguably in the wrong direction. F.
