ARTICLE 19 is pleased to respond to this Open Consultation held by the CWG-Internet on the Public Policy Considerations of OTT Services.
This submission focuses on addressing the second question of the Consultation, on the the policy and regulatory matters associated with OTT. However, the Introduction of the submission begins by highlighting ARTICLE 19's general concerns regarding the scope and implications of the term "OTT". The submission then focuses on two major considerations for addressing the policy and regulatory dimensions of OTTs: the conflation of OTT and telecom services and the role of public interest and the human rights framework. The submission concludes by assessing the extent to which the ITU should address the policy or regulatory dimensions of OTTs, given its mandate and capacity.
