Bingo. What they are really saying is: "We're _telling_ you that you need it because we need new ways to generate additional revenue." ;-) Cheers, - ferg -- Alexander Harrowell <[email protected]> wrote: The whole QoS/2 tier Internet thing I find deeply, deeply suspicious...here in the mobile space, everyone is getting obsessed by IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and explaining to each other that they need it so they can offer "Better QoS, like the subscribers want". What they really mean, I suspect, is killing third party applications that compete with their own. IMS=I Mash Skype. And, I suspect, "QoS" for SBC customer broadband will mean "the speed we advertise so long as you are paying us for VoIP/video/whatever, shite if you aren't". [snip] -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
