[kictanet] Airtel wants piece of Google, Facebook revenues

[Paul Makobi]

My 2c3nts on this: 
the customer is king . it will always boil down to what the Customer wants . The providers whether infrastructure , VAR or content owners have to figure through the dynamics where their money comes from. 
At end of it all we shall have losers and gainers in the whole dynamics. that how world is

Hello all, 

I am no expert at this - but I have sympathy for people who sell bandwidth in an unlimited way (Zuku, JTL, Telkom ADSL e.t.c.). They have to figure a profitable way to share their upstream data capacity with their downstream customers - without affecting the expectation of individual customers. Large capacity services (Netflix, Dropbox e.t.c) can be a resource hog for them - “ messing” up bandwith plans. 

Vendors who sell per MB rates - e.g. Safaricom, benefit increasingly as consumption increases, they should probably be paying for the bandwidth consuming applications that make them money.

It's was only a matter of time before this argument came to our borders. I'd like to hear wat people on the list think about our networks charging companies for access when we already pay them for data bundles which means they'll be effectively charging twice for the same data
