Personally, I don't see this as a bad thing. Open disclosure of peering relationships strikes me as a "sunlight is the best disinfectant" kind of situation. Will they be making this information public or accepting it under seal? If they're making it public, then, I think overall it's a good thing. If not, then it's just another burdensome regulation without much public good. Owen On Mar 30, 2012, at 11:21 AM, Raphael MAUNIER wrote:
Hello All,
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.
So, some of US network with a L33 License will also have to respond ( obligation because you have the L33-1)
The documents can be downloaded here http://www.arcep.fr/index.php?id=8571&L=&tx_gsactualite_pi1[uid]=1508&tx_gs actualite_pi1[backID]=1&cHash=ed82d44a55 : ( french for now, english courtesy version will come soon )
The document is asking for informations like : BW, Prices, contract or not, level of use, date of the contract S
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.
