Batelco recognizes and proposes:
• legal OTT applications should not be blocked or throttled, but
• by changes in law and regulation, an effective level playing field for OTTs be created so the regulatory requirements affecting public telecoms operators also apply to them
• establishment of OTT authorisations at an international level with effective supervision/enforcement cross border to tackle the issue of service/software provision being separated from network provision
• encouragement and support for OTT contribution towards infrastructure investment or other regulatory incentives to encourage this if OTT access is allowed
• allow paid prioritisation – recognize the OTT market is consolidating into several big players now
