Internet services will be very important in Kaldus. It will be the system that the telephone uses, as well as televisions and streaming audio. In addition, the national library will provide ebooks for patrons to borrow and read on their ebook reader. Internet services is essential for a number of reasons. It is so vital, that it will be considered as an essential resource requiring ISPs to provide an affordable solution for internet. Ka-Tel will license any ISPs they choose, however they are allowed to be a monopoly as long as they provide affordable services.
All ISPs must provide a bare minimum of 10MBPS connection which is the minimum standard for broadband, and this will be slow broadband. No ISP can limit or throttle the speeds below the paid for amount because the customer used “too much” of the service they paid for. The ISP must provide 75% of paid for speed 90% of the time. In addition, the ISP is not allowed to restrict access to certain websites therefore, they must remain independent in all access, and all usage. All ISPs must provide for a static IPv6 address since this is required for address database lookup.
While note required, it might make sense for an ISP to provide an email account. If done, this must be a SPF authenticated IMAP-4 system. Assuming the ISP provides one, they must use SSL for authentication, and allow for email attachments of 50MB. The mail server for both incoming, and outgoing mail must be mail.ISP.ka to keep things simple. If the ISP provides for email service, they must also support webmail access. ISPs aren’t required to provide a website address for their customers. If they do, then this address must be a subdomain, and the ISP is required to support the SSL certificates for any website the provide for.
