Fwd: Re: End User Policy

[Ahmed Abumarzouq <ahmed@p-i-s.com>]

Dear Board,
I have been working extensively with Paltel top management for the past
month to finalize a working strategy for the Internet that will be
beneficial for both of us. We need to draft a new proposal to include the
new issues and then discussed in a workshop. This is a top urgent issue
before Paltel comes up with its new policy public. Need your input and
comments ASAP. Thanks

P.S. If this is done right it is going to be break through for PITA

Ahmed,

PalTel will be making public our Internet and ISP working relationship
Policy very shortly. It is/will be along the lines we discussed. PalTel
understands and appreciates ISP's as being one of our major customers and
one of PalTel's significant service distributer channels. We would like to
foster and increase our working relationships. Including joint advertising,
promotion and public awareness and relations programs.

As also discussed, we are searching for the best forum. Should it be PITA,
or is there an Organization/Association specific fot he ISP's.

The other alternarive is simply invite all the ISP's to PalTel and have an
open discussion and formalizing our Agreements and Understandings.

I would like to do that asap. Please consult your colleagues in the
industry. I also understand you are a Member of the Board of PITA.

I would like to put this issue behind us and get on with our businesses.

As discussed, PalTel's objectives/requirements are, briefly, as follows:

1- Internet Penetration in Palestine to reach 10% in the very near future
(i.e. in excess of 30K subscribers).
2- PalTel Infrasture to be used exclusively. Including using PalTel as the
Int'l Gateways for ANY ISP services.
3-ISP's do not compete in PalTels Licenced services which includes but not
limited to Reselling our services in any way shape or form, particularly IP
Telephony in General.

Please assist us in setting up such a get together asap.

Best Regards,

Abdel Rahman Omar
