I believe it is worthwhile to engage with the European Institutions to provide expertise on IP Interconnection. (see also background below). Who would be the technical experts available to explain to a non-tech audience the technical & business model of Internet Exchange Points, including on how the European model differs from the US one?
There is a larger issue here, and that is that we have three categories of people: - The ones that understand how Internet works, and based the world view on it - The ones that do not understand how the Internet work, and continue to apply traditional connection oriented thinking on packet based networks - The ones that understand how Internet works, and [because of this] continue to apply traditional connection oriented thinking on packet based networks
Also there seems to be a concern that the lack of “assured service quality” on IP interconnections might actually prevent the introduction of pan-European health services and video-conferencing.
