Apparently Telcos are faced with implementing the following algorithm to create value-added services: - Take service S with provides value Y - Artificially remove value, creating new service V - Price V at the same level as S - Offer old S at a higher price point and market it as a "value added" service, compared to V One would have thought that "value added" referred to well, *adding* value to what already exists, not rehashing current offers and artificially limiting them. But then again, I don't think like a marketing person. If you want a funny look at a not-so-funny and grim possible future scenario, you might want to read this: http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/~olaf/LACNIC_XVI_Meat_and_Greed.pdf regards Carlos On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Arturo Servin <arturo.servin () gmail com> wrote:

Was this the sort of use-case you were looking for? :)Ummm, not really... :) Actually, we've been faced with proposals to build services based on traffic classification, like e.g. "access our own webmail and all social networking sites, but not skype and video" or the capability to do exact metering based on net traffic time or volume, as well as being able to redirect the customer to various captive portals using HTTP redirect directly from the DPI box, and such.
