Yet more absurd is the concept that ITU could enforce bilateral interconnection arrangements for IP traffic. Remember, this is precisely what killed X.400 when it saw the (primitive at the time) competition by Internet-based e-mail (UUCP, SMTP, ...).

Is this a typo?  It's obviously not you that'd get paid.  They want foreign (US) ISPs and "OTT service providers" to pay them because you downloaded using their apparently scarce bandwidth.
