Re: Application Throttling/Management
Re my post yesterday, I've gone through the webcasts again and can confirm that Neil Berkett does indeed say that a anti piracy measure called Next Generation CAS (Controlled Access ??) will be introduced. It's in the Merrill Lynch webcast (which requires registration, I gave the link yesterday) and its at 24 minutes 50 seconds into the webcast. It gets a 2 second mention. It's easier to listen from two minutes before this to get the context of what Berkett is talking about - basically its about what money VM have to spend on things over the next year.

There are legit uses for all the targetted areas NG BT and P2P closing these off will not only effect pirates but a lot of other users. VM will suffer big style

Re: Application Throttling/Management
...my fault, I assumed CAS was related to broadband.
Perhaps VM intend to issue new viewing cards next year?? |

Has anyone thought that the fact that Virgin Media have actually denied this for once may mean that it isn't in fact going to happen? As we all know, they are not known for outright denying things. [/QUOTE] Hmmm. not so sure about that... VM keep denying they have signed a deal to roll out Phorm's webspy technology but VM is still being associated with them in all the media news stories and in press releases issued by Phorm**** Better to deny it and keep off the wolves. |
Re: Application Throttling/Management
but Phorm hasn't actually been rolled out yet though, has it? Again, it's an idea (a bad one) that's being looked into. It will all come down to whether VM can make money out of it that overrides any bad PR. It's not unknown for companies to turn around and say to their customers and the public, "Hey, we looked at it, but our customers didn't like it so we said no!" even when it's been hanging around in the background for months/years ready for implementation.
But, let's not turn this into a debate over Phorm - there's a thread for that. I'm not saying throttling hasn't been discussed and that the technology isn't there to implement it. I'm just saying that until we get proof that it will be operating, people need to chill. So many tech people and others in VM don't like Traxdata these days due to his previous leaks that he may be being fed duff info. I'd certainly do it on him if I was someone bearing a grudge in VM just to discredit him with an "official denial". He could also be telling us all big old porkies just for kicks - this is the internet after all ;) |

Just got home from work. Turned on my PC and guess what i have been STM'd and all i have done is surf this site. STM is just another way of saving money for VM. :mad:
