The angle on my right shoulder wants to congratulate a "tier one" (whatever the F that means) provider for finally admitting, in writing, in public, from a lawyer, what the rest of us have known for decades.
Every time the market has troubled the status quo, networks have failed to find ways that adapt to that market. The market ends up working around the network. Napster and all the goodness that followed it, is one such example; until iTunes adapted. And yes, iTunes is NOT the network. Now the OTT's are driving the network hard, and the network des not want to adapt (perhaps calling in the FCC is adapting... not). So expect the market to work around this as well. The network keeps getting left behind... Mark.
