The crazy thing is they're debating on Sender-Pays: FTA "The concept—known as “sender pays”—would radically alter today’s Internet economics. Some countries say their networks are groaning under video and other content provided in large part by U.S. companies such as Facebook, Netflix, and Google. These countries suggest that fees on content providers would help defray local infrastructure costs." This is exactly why ITU and other agencies should stay out of the way. They have no clue how the internet works. Content providers do pay Bandwidth fees at their edges. If the networks are having a hard time with this content they should have not signed deals at the edges of their networks that put them in these positions. What they really want is to dig their hands into the deeper pockets of content providers and create a sort of "Tax" to improve their "groaning" networks. What would really happen is they would get the money and continue running their inefficient networks and magically the extra money would just disappear in a flash of "operating expenses".
