[governance] Re: Managing Critical Internet Resources [IGF 2012 - MAG Consultations]

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Imran.. agree this is important. In the MAG meeting there was mention of
wireless spectrum, and of infrastructure (Brazil proposed infrastructure
as a main topic under IG4D).

It could fit under 'access' too.. but I like having in CIR actually..
problem is that CIR is becoming loaded with lots of important topics.

Having the freedom to come up with new main session 'themes' would make
it all so much easier.

These equipment provides a good reliable service (for data and internet) connectivity upto 25-30 Km. While there is no alternate (for long distance) is available in most of the areas, even Microwave Radio link solution some times not feasible because, two different Radio Links can not be installed on same tower/pole (technically) on same building.

Anyway, smart grids, generally speaking, aren't that smart; and the 'things' in isolation are just - things. So real issue is how does one share resources among grids and things; and not pretend all life will be in the cloud so who needs to worry our pretty little heads about who controls what - resources, including things.>>>> In sum, imho these 2 together are more interesting and relevant for IGF than either alone, which odds are would turn into corporate sales pitches for particular big brands...in the usual suspect category>>>> 3)    SPECTRUM ALLOCATION FOR MOBILE SERVICES AND THE DIMENSION OF PUBLIC INTEREST>>>>>>>> (Sounds good to me; though  I wonder what our ITU friends will think of IGF engaging on spectrum allocation
