[Karen Higgs]

Interconnection costs
By Mike Jensen(Sep 2005)

This paper produced by South African Mike Jensen covers increasing 
North-South inequities (“paying both ways”) and proposed strategies for 
minimising the disparities in interconnection rates, accelerating the 
restructuring of the communications sector, supporting the establishment 
of national and international internet exchange points, and building 
local demand for national and international backbones.
