Zero-rating means exempting some Internet traffic from a customer’s data limitation.
Zero-rating means that the VAT rate applies, but it is nil. For example, certain types of goods might normally bear VAT at the standard rate, but if they are donated and sold by a charity which uses the proceeds for charitable purposes, the VAT is set at zero.
Zero-rating means the practice of exempting certain Internet traffic from a customer’s data usage allowance.
Zero-rating means that the seller charges a VAT rate of zero on its sales but is still entitled to credit for the input VAT paid, so that no VAT remains: the Australian term ‘VAT-free’ is perhaps more descriptive. So long as some input VAT has been paid, the business will on this account be due a refund.
Zero-rating means allowing access to certain content for free. Where a capped data allowance is the norm, zero-rated content may be favoured by users. For example, Orcon used to have a “free zone” on its website - a list of preferred media providers, consumption of whose content was not counted towards a customer’s data cap. Such a “free zone” benefits end-users by giving them something for free that they otherwise may not enjoy. On the other hand, such preferential treatment may ultimately decrease the diversity of content and serve to artificially benefit the interests of those content owners that are included in the “free zone” versus those that are not. Further, if such a “free zone” is not “free” to the content provider, in that it pays for its content to be privileged with zero-rated status, then this may act as a barrier to entry or constraint on what would otherwise be a competition on equal terms between content providers. Price is one factor which ISPs control. Another is the preferential provision of fast local data.
Zero-rating means that, although the lines may be expected to continue to function, their reliability will have declined to a level where they cannot be counted on for transmission planning purposes. In its response to BCUC IR 1.40.3, BC Hydro said, “BCTC’s analysis indicated that the estimated reliability is not sufficient for the HVDC transmission system to be considered as firm capacity beyond 2007.” BCTC will replace the zero-rated lines; BC Hydro designed the current CFT process on the assumption that this would be completed by the winter of 2008-09.
