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 - “<i>messing”</i> up bandwith plans.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25; max-width: 590px;" class="small"><span color="#0000ff" data-mce-style="color: #0000ff;" style="color: #0000ff;"><br></span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25; max-width: 590px;" class="small"><span color="#0000ff" data-mce-style="color: #0000ff;" style="color: #0000ff;">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.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25; max-width: 590px;" class="small"><br></div><div class="mixmax_signature"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><span face="verdana, sans-serif" color="#0000ff" data-mce-style="color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" style="color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Kip</b></span></div><div><span face="verdana, sans-serif" color="#0000ff" data-mce-style="color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" style="color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><br></b></i></span></div><div><span face="verdana, sans-serif" color="#0000ff" data-mce-style="color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" style="color: #0000ff; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>A Cruce Salus</b></i></span></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><div></div>

<p dir="ltr">Airtel has revived the debate calling for big Internet companies such as Google and Facebook to share revenue with Internet service providers. <br>
