Hi all,
Just picking up this thread as a reminder that the deadline for
submitting responses to the ITU's open consultation on OTTs
<http://www.itu.int/en/council/cwg-internet/Pages/consultation-june2017.aspx>
is *tomorrow *(by midnight CEST). This consultation will see a lot of
interest from telecom service providers and network operators, so it's
especially important to make sure that public interest perspectives are
clearly represented. You can find ARTICLE 19's submission here
<http://www.itu.int/en/Lists/consultationJune2017/Attachments/51//CWG-Internet%20Submission%20on%20Public%20Policy%20Considerations%20of%20OTTs%20-%20ARTICLE%2019.pdf>.
Best,
Mehwish
