Granted, nobody knows what the network tax will be or indeed if it will ever happen. What we have is speculation and telco Xmas wishes. The idea that the sender should pay for the traffic in the network (in addition to the fees paid already by the subscribers). In fact, the sender already pays, and […]

Regeringen imod europæisk forslag om tech-giganters betaling for udbygning af digital infrastruktur

I de digitale korridorer i EU har ét af de største samtaleemner i lang tid været forslag fra de gamle telemonopoler i Europa om, at dataslugende tech-giganter som Netflix, Amazon, Google og Facebook skal være med til at betale for den fremtidige udbygning af fibernet og 5G. Nu melder den danske regering klart ud i sagen - og Fiberalliancen bakker op.

The discussion on #networkfees has thus far mainly focused on telecoms and internet platforms. Time then to consider the effect on the creative sector.

Network Fees and the Creative Sector - Netopia

The discussion on network fees has thus far mainly focused on telecoms and internet platforms. What about the European creative sector? Would those companies be impacted by network fees, what would be the consequence and would network fees do what they are meant to (increase investment in networks)? Netopia takes a look at the facts.

It's crazy how the #telecoms industry literally *owns* the networks and yet constantly whines about how "we" are "falling short" of making them better.

It's *their* private networks, why should the public aka "we" do the investment? We already pay telcos monthly subscription fees for using them.
