In situations where network contention is an issue for bandwidth hungry OTT applications, partnerships whereby revenue share is traded off against prioritised traffic (ie by using QoS – Quality of Service), is an innovative bargaining tool.
If you’re an incumbent CSP, what are your bargaining chips when faced with commoditisation of traditional services?
