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. -- Raphaël Maunier NEO TELECOMS CTO / Directeur Ingénierie AS8218 -----Original Message----- From: Fredy Kuenzler <kuenzler@init7.net> Organization: Init Seven AG - http://www.init7.net/ Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 23:06:39 +0200 To: 'NANOG list' <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: French Regulator to ask all your information about your Peering

This is now the end. The French regulator ( Arcep ) is now asking all the people with an ASN in France ( with a L33 license ) to get all their information on their peering.
The Arcep claim it's for the "net neutrality" and still don't understand it works because it's self regulated.
I suggest to stop whining. Why do we see regulators stepping in? Simply because some networks (mainly, but not only incumbents) abused their market power. It doesn't surprise me that it starts in France, as it's a common knowledge that the French incumbent has only one default answer, which is 'no'.

You have to give them information twice a year
We ( @Neo Telecoms ) and other folks in France will probably setup something with other carriers ( I already had some discussion with some of you ) to talk to them on a single voice.
Much appreciated. They certainly will come to some automated solution where they can generate reports on BGP feeds we send to their route collector. Everyone with proper route tagging should be ok and live happily.
If, after all, the French incumbent has trouble to find an appropriate explanation for the regulator to justify their policy, so be it...
