<div dir="ltr">I've been warning people about CVC costs and the coming SVOD revolution for about a year now, and in my ISP network management service we have been dealing with the AGVC problem since Presto hit (little bump) and Stans free trial (big bump) and now Netflix with free trial (massive bump) - has been an issue since late last year. It will be worse by the end of the year.... and there are other SVOD coming that is going to cause even more problems which won't have standard peering (at least initially).<div><br></div><div>It all depends what kind of demographics you have in your customer base and how you buy your tails and what kind of tails they are - not everything has AGVC.</div><div><br></div><div>Even Telstra, TPG and others are going to have problems with AGVC across to NBNCo... that is probably the reason TPG doesn't offer its IPTV product on its NBN tails, but does on DSL and FTTB where their backhaul is free.</div><img src="http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/o/5/f18dQhb0S7ks8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9gXrN7sKj6v4f40zVcV_H27fctYzW2B8ht-3LvrVvW79qQGr1k1H6H0?si=4640016326721536&pi=222a19c9-04a2-4e04-dcb8-c1a8735525db" style="display:none!important" height="1" width="1"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#002060" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="3"><p style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(32,73,125)"><br>...Skeeve</p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(32,73,125)"><br>--</p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(32,73,125)">Skeeve Stevens - <span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">The ISP Guy</span></p></font></font><font color="#002060" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="3"><p style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(32,73,125)">Email: <a href="mailto:skeeve@theispguy.com" target="_blank">skeeve@theispguy.com</a> ; <span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Twitter: </span><a href="http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43LyyXnW4X9_h03N1zK2W653gwx56dStDf4-GSnR02?t=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FTheISPGuy&si=4640016326721536&pi=222a19c9-04a2-4e04-dcb8-c1a8735525db" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" target="_blank">@TheISPGuy</a></p></font></font><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(32,73,125);font-family:Calibri">Blog: <a href="http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43LyyXnW4X9_h03N1zK2W653gwx56dStDf4-GSnR02?t=http%3A%2F%2Ftheispguy.com%2F&si=4640016326721536&pi=222a19c9-04a2-4e04-dcb8-c1a8735525db" target="_blank">TheISPGuy.com</a> ; Facebook: </span><font color="#20497d" face="Calibri"><a href="http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43LyyXnW4X9_h03N1zK2W653gwx56dStDf4-GSnR02?t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftheispguy&si=4640016326721536&pi=222a19c9-04a2-4e04-dcb8-c1a8735525db" target="_blank">TheISPGuy</a></font><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><font color="#002060"><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="3"><p style="margin:0px;font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(32,73,125)">Linkedin: <a href="http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43LyyXnW4X9_h03N1zK2W653gwx56dStDf4-GSnR02?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fskeeve&si=4640016326721536&pi=222a19c9-04a2-4e04-dcb8-c1a8735525db" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">/in/skeeve</a> ; <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Expert360: </span><a href="http://t.signaledue.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43LyyXnW4X9_h03N1zK2W653gwx56dStDf4-GSnR02?t=https%3A%2F%2Fexpert360.com%2Fprofile%2Fd54a9&si=4640016326721536&pi=222a19c9-04a2-4e04-dcb8-c1a8735525db" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">Profile</a></p></font></font></div><div><blockquote type="cite" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div>

</span>I suspect that point is, Ben, that you didn't need to. You've, in your<br>
mind at least, simply done your job and any collateral damage that you<br>
may have caused is none of your concern or responsibility, either<br>
morally or ethically.<br>
<br>
I suggest that in future when you write a story that utilises publicly<br>
available data, you don't simply screenshot and rejig the background.<br>
Redo the stuff entirely, that way sources may not get pissed off at<br>
their data being used for what they may believe be purposes for which it<br>
was not intended.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
