IBEC Notice of Nondiscrimination and Interconnection Policy

It is the policy of International Broadband Electric Communications, Inc. (IBEC) to adhere to the principles of nondiscrimination and interconnection for broadband access to the Internet over its wireline facilities as outlined in Federal Communications Commission Internet Policy Statement FCC 05-151, adopted August 5, 2005. More generally, it is IBEC's policy to promote and support the provision of telecommunications for Internet access and IP-enabled services in a neutral and nondiscriminatory manner and to deploy and encourage deployment of wireline broadband services in an open, affordable, and widely-accessible manner to all consumers.

It is IBEC's policy not to favor any lawful Internet applications and content over others.

IBEC employs the industry-standard "Best Effort" Policy regarding provision of Internet access, providing fair and equitable access to all its customers.

IBEC offers interconnection to the public Internet, directly or indirectly, on a fair and nondiscriminatory basis such that networks are "open" to the fullest extent possible and technically feasible without exceeding current or anticipated capacity limitations and at reasonable rates and terms negotiated with requesting parties.

IBEC customers will be advised of any revisions and/or changes to its Nondiscrimination and Interconnection Policies as they occur.

IBEC reserves the right to maintain and enforce its Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) as detailed on its Web Site, a copy of which is also available upon request, to maintain fair and open access to all customers of IBEC on a fair and equitable basis.

All elements of this Policy are subject to the needs of law enforcement and the requirements of reasonable network management capabilities.

Any questions regarding this Policy may be directed to service@ibec.net.
