Re: Bell shareholder report re Bell Throttling (was inter. blog.
SO Bell views the competitive nature in the market as a reason to potentially not expand infrastructure.
But they then are saying that if they dont expand and then attempt to slowly role of FTTN, they then dont have the infrastructure so they must implement traffic management to help network performance as well as rate changes (ie CAPS) to lower demand on the network.
That whole thing STINKS of anti-competitive now that they are throttling wholesalers, otherwise they loose to many customers.
I would be interested to see if the shareholder pdf has info on what exactly their current demand on the network is, as per prev. teksavvy posts, demand on network from torrents is equivalent to streaming video (assuming UDP isnt torrent related) |

| "In addition to these traditional
video competitors, certain traditional telephone companies
have recently launched or are contemplating the
launch of IPTV services that would compete with Bell
ExpressVu in certain markets."
I think throttling and very limiting caps would prevent competition against express vu
"However, growth of end-user technologies such as
VoIP is continuing to increase pressure on some legacy
product lines" legacy being POTS lines... again throttling will mitigate this problem for Bell...
Page 53 "The significant increase in broadband demand could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results." It even has its own freakin title- so whats a company to do? lower intesive apps (why would they btoher to exand *sarcasm* |
