Re: Most bogus news story of the week

Here's (what the ITU claims is) the specific proposal that has been made to the ITU:
"
An ITU spokesman said: "The ITU has no plans to modify the BGP protocol, which is not an ITU-T standard. "A proposal has been made, and is being studied, to use BGP routers to collect traffic flow data, which could be used, by bilateral agreement, by operators for billing purposes."

"

Is this disingenuous or has the ITU really not heard of netflow?

Chinese proposal to meter Internet traffic

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8417680.stm

China wants to meter all internet traffic that passes through its
borders, it has emerged.

The move would require international agreement - but it is being
discussed by the United Nations body in charge of internet standards.


Are they referring to the ITU ?
