George W Bush ha firmato legislazione relativa ultima domenica.

Secondo Telegeography, una ditta di ricerca quella telecomunicazioni dei video traffico i flussi, circa 38% delle telecomunicazioni totali del mondo trafficano gli inizio o i rivestimenti negli Stati Uniti. Ciò proviene un po'giù da 43% di 2003.

“In 2005 (the latest year for which we currently have voice traffic data), approximately 29% of non-US voice traffic transited through a US hub. This is up noticeably from the 20% share in 2002,” said Tim Stronge, a Telegeography spokesman.

“This only includes traditional, circuit-switched international voice traffic. If one includes voice traffic carried as Voice-over-IP (VoIP), the number would likely be around 33%,” he added.

Stronge said his firm does not collect data on satellite traffic, but said no more than 1% or 2% of telecoms traffic went over satellite links.

“Fibre-optic network infrastructure is, bit-for-bit, far cheaper than satellites, and is the dominant medium for international telecommunications,” he said.

“Taking into account that not all satellite constellations are US-owned, my guess is that less than 1% of the world’s international traffic transits over US-owned satellites.”
