In the past , someone has already suggested this idea of abbreviations and it 
was agreed that it is not explicit and could mislead the user (he will think 
it is a Typing error ).

moreover abbreviations traditionally are not used ( implemented ? ) and 
accepted in arabic language.

No because بروتوكول 
isn't arabic

protocol= مراسم

internet protocol= مراسم الإنترنت

TCP = transfer control protocol = مراسم التحكم بِلنقل


> so ... we can start the abbreviation 'با' which is much better

better for whom  ?

In my opinion it is very uncomfortable  and also misleading

new is good but how would you abbreviate Internet gateway
بوابة إنترنت = با
بريد إلكتروني = با
  إلخ...
