BSG or the authors of the report? <br />In any case, just to clarify. Let's suppose that one ISP manages to convince either Netflix or Lovefilm (who compete against each other) to pay for prioritised delivery. This would put peer pressure on the other to do the same. This is to say that the argument that ISPs won't be able to impose paid-for special delivery over content providers rest on the (rather weak) assumption that the latter are able to coordinate in refusing to pay for special delivery. What about rivalry among ISPs. Well, the one ISP rasing revenue from content providers could subsidise subsribers on the retail side (i.e., two-sided platforms and waterbed effects). Hence, other ISPs will have to follow suit in order to avoid subscribers poaching. This is to say, the scenario where content providers stick together and refuse to pay for special delivery and ISPs cannot force them because they are afraid of losing subscribers is very fragile indeed, and it could descend in a bad equilibrium where content providers paying for special delivery becomes the norm. Now, why is this a problem (given that consumer would be subsidised)? It is a problem to the extent that this bad equilibrium not only disincentivise ISPs and consumers from expanding capacity (i.e., since they are better off, respectively, charging for special delivery - given bandwidth scarcity - and having current generation access being subsidised), but also entranch the incumbency of large content/application providers, who will be the only ones able to afford special delivery on a large scale. They will therefore gain a gatekeeping role for access to consumers OTT, which might be bad for dynamic efficiency (aka innovation). Worth noting that in this scenario there isn't tacit collusion among ISPs - i.e., the bad equilibrium is the result of unilateral (aka non-cooperative) moves, which means intervention under competition law is not possible. In any case, ex-post intervention would be difficult since it would have to be based dynamic inefficiency - i.e., lack of innovation in the bad equilibrium compared to a counterfactual scenario where ISPs were not allowed to charge at the wholesale level. This would be an impossible case to make, hence, ex-ante intervention would be the best solution. <br />BTW, this is nothing new Chris.

The focus is on domestic demand so by scope of the project we do not look at specific business use cases, though general home-working is included in the model.<br />We have modelled 156 different household types so are certainly not assuming that everyone is an average consumer. Indeed one of the insights from the report is how bandwidth needs might vary across household types.BSGhttp://www.broadbanduk.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291001.post-87236874023289047642013-09-19T09:46:37.193+01:002013-09-19T09:46:37.193+01:00The problem is that specialised services as a sour...The problem is that specialised services as a source of revenue make sense until there is an access bottleneck. Once this is fixed with fibre rollout why would either consumers or content providers want to purchase them? Hence the business case for specialised services is opposed to the one for NGA roll out. Therefore, conditioning the former to the latter is problematic as shown but telcos resistance to the original Kroes' proposal to allow incumbents to raise LLU prices only in those areas where NGA investment would take place (otherwise telcos would have faced margin squeezing over their legacy DSL platforms). <br />From an economic standpoint there is an important subtle difference between the rules of the game in a scenario with specialised services as opposed to NGA roll-out. When it is content providers who pay for specialised service delivery at the wholesale level, the underlying economics strongly resemble the traditional market failure with mobile termination, where each operator is a monopolist on his own customer base, hence prices can be increased independently from rivals' reaction (which in turn lead to an equilibrium where termination wholesale prices can be raised across the board without the need to collude). In contrast, with fibre roll-out ISPs would ultimately have to compete in the retail market for customers (akin to mobile retail access and origination services), whereby pricing rivalry is very intense unless rivals manage to coordinate somehow.<br />This is to say that from a public policy point of view, the objective of inventivising NGA roll-out and sanctioning the widespread adoption of specialised services are, perhaps counter-intuitively, inconsistent and contradictory. <br />Paolo Sicilianinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291001.post-74489965222356587722013-05-06T13:59:48.727+01:002013-05-06T13:59:48.727+01:00The examples given in the Guardian article are bet...The examples given in the Guardian article are better: "a consumer must receive a refund if an online game freezes or if a film stream is unwatchable even if the broadband connection is fine."<br /><br />I suspect this law would encourage interactive content suppliers to develop software for the user's device that would monitor media playout and connection quality, so that suppliers could reject claims that resulted from hardware and ISP problems (and test hardware and connection before agreeing to supply the content).Ian Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007361839067209470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291001.post-21915256629237389282013-05-06T11:31:12.804+01:002013-05-06T11:31:12.804+01:00The Internet part of this scenario is an irrelevan...The Internet part of this scenario is an irrelevant distraction.

However, most commentators are missing an important legal point. At least two Skype services fall within the definition of "electronic communication services" under the EC Framework. This is why ARCEP or any other European regulator in that matter is correct to classify these services as "electronic communication services" under there national law.<br />In principle any VoIP service (managed or unmanaged over-the-top service) which provides outgoing calls to telephone numbers is "electronic communication services" under the EC Framework. The same is true for services providing the possibility of receiving calls from public telephone networks (via DID numbers). In fact this is the common position of the European regulators since 2007 (See the VoIP common position of ERG, 2007). <br />Both Skype-Out and Skype-In are services which fall within the definition of "electronic communication services" under the EC Framework. The legal definition of "electronic communications services" remained unchanged since its introduction in the Framework Directive 2002 therefore these Skype services have long been.<br />Furthermore, under the revised definition of "public available telephone service", the combination of Skype-In and Skype-Out as one service falls in this category as well:<br />"publicly available telephone service" means a service made available to the public for originating and receiving, directly or indirectly, national or national and international calls through a number or numbers in a national or international telephone numbering plan. This categorization means that Skype must offer number portability (Article 30 of the Universal Service Directive). Obviously ARCEP did not consider this possibility which can have even bigger consequences.<br />In my view the correct question is not "Skype to be regulated as a telco in France?" but rather "Why wait for so long and allow these services to exist with little or no regulatory oversight?".<br />Telco Lawyer<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291001.post-74327575156700906432013-02-25T14:07:05.350+00:002013-02-25T14:07:05.350+00:00I don't find this answer on the europarl websi...I don't find this answer on the europarl website.
