There is no unified policy governing non-ham traffic on 44 networks. Each of us is bound to the terms and conditions of the respective national agency that issued our ham radio licenses. This is somewhat consistent with the mishmash of national regulations governing the global internet traffic. Also, most (if not all) amateur radio licenses weren't crafted with the internet in mind, and hence they don't provide clear cut guidance. Therefore, it is our responsibility as gateway operatorw to balance advancing the state of the art while maintaining compliance with our licenses. Assi kk7kx/4x1kx

Personally I block all traffic with a non-44/8 source or destination, but I was never sure if that is the "correct" policy?.

The last policy statement I had from FCC (admittedly, a few years ago) was "that which is not expressly prohibited is permitted". In other words, be liberal, we'll let you know when we think something is crossing the line.
