10. IP Transition
Legacy regulation is based on 20th Century single provider markets and single
purpose networks and is not compatible with today’s robustly competitive marketplace.

13. IP Interconnection
The success of the ecosystem is attributable to market-driven
commercial negotiations
Commercially negotiated interconnection agreements – mostly handshakes
(i.e. no paper contract)
Process has proven to be flexible and adaptable to constant change in
marketplace and exponential growth.
Fully competitive:
• Providers have many choices for connectivity – direct and indirect
• Transit prices consistently in decline
Accommodates multiple business models – backbone, CDN, ISP etc.
Yet, some are calling for extension of
old world regulation to the new world.

14. Policy Framework
Looking Ahead
Recognizes multi-layered ecosystem of providers.
Provides proper incentives for investment.
Facilitates migration from legacy TDM technology to IP.
Encourages convergence and network efficiency and discourages
operation of separate voice and data networks
Understands the need to accommodate social objectives - e.g.
disability access, emergency access etc.
Ensures that broadband is widely available – no one gets left
behind.
Limits economic regulation to case-by-case basis based on factual
evidence of market failure and not predictive judgments.
