<br>
So Telstra mobile services increasingly seem to revert to using<br>
Wifi calling even in the presence of decent signal strength.<br>
<br>
If I were a CDN wanting to connect to Telstra IP,<br>
they'd charge me for injecting traffic into their network or for transit,<br>
and yet Telstra is injecting traffic into our our network to carry <br>
some of their cell traffic, without payment or agreement.<br>
<br>
Now you might say, sure, but we're doing that for our customers not <br>
for Telstra. But Telstra themselves will charge CDNs for delivering <br>
content<br>
to Telstra's customers, something Telstra's end customers are presumably<br>
already paying for. So yeah, we know in this industry what is good for the<br>
goose is not always good for the gander.<br>
<br>
Another point, Telstra, who are our sworn competitors, are using our <br>
network for Wifi calling to supplement their mobile network. Presumably<br>
this use of their competitor's networks reduces their capital investment<br>
requirement and supports their revenue stream by raising the<br>
quality of their coverage. Hence Telstra's use of their competitor's networks<br>
enhances their ability to dominate the industry, again without<br>
any kind of settlement to their competitor ISPs.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
Also, anyone have any thoughts about what ACL one might put in place<br>
to block wifi calling if one was of a mind to?<br>
