Broadband kill net neutrality
Representatives of network equipment appeared at the annual congress of the German broadband initiative convinced that video applications, connected TV and the Smart Grid a "differentiation" of quality and price ranges in the Internet required. Video on Demand is really about "a horror for the web," said Walter Haas of Huawei Germany. Given these bandwidth killer "we will have to talk about different service qualities." Especially with the streaming of HD video looks regulatory expert good opportunities for access providers linked to "sell higher-priced products Connection".
Given the penetration of smart meters and networked household appliances, especially in a real time measurement presented decent bandwidth requirements, withstand Alf Henryk Wulf Alstom Germany an intensified debate on net neutrality for "inevitable". Many saw the Internet as a fundamental right, acknowledged the ambassador of the Energy and Transport Group. "We need but another payment model." He advocated tiered offer different qualities in the transmission of data packets, "without discriminating against anyone."
Broadband providers want content providers and end-users ask for some time to build up their high-speed lines to the checkout and direct traffic paying customers preferred. Such plans for the construction of toll booths and checkpoints on the information highway and represent the principle of the Internet as a universal power into question the hitherto conceded to all participants regardless of their financial strength or size the same opportunities. Since adopting new, absorbing much bandwidth applications form, the debate intensified about the open Internet.
Bottlenecks in the network capacity, the industry complains directly. "We stand at 100 Mbit / s in terms of connections in the home," stated Udo Schaefer Alcatel-Lucent Germany. At the backbone networks are 400 Gbit / s per channel commonplace, with a fiberglass several Tbit / s On the other hand Shepherd made clear: "In the order of 100 Gb / s, we will have to move in a line." Certain services are then throttle possibly after a certain bandwidth usage.
On a systematic expansion of fiber optic networks for Hans-Joachim Grallert from the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, there's no way. Even when the much-vaunted "technology mix" with wireless, cable TV and landline this would make the glass come about for the connection of mobile phone cells or connecting basis points yet again to the game. Overall, an "individualization" of the network traffic is observed, since at any time about any video retrievals and who knows, maybe even wanted to watch a football game from different angles. For transmission of 3D TV you also need two video streams, which increased the bandwidth hungry to sizes between 20 and 50 percent.
There go the expansion of fiber to the home as well as to cloud services, social media and scientific applications, Robert Henkel added from the party responsible for communication networks-General of the European Commission. He advocated a clever grouping of technologies in order to raise the total bandwidth up.
Hans-Joachim Otto, State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, was confident that held in the broadband strategy of the Federal Government targets are achievable. Currently, 51 percent of households in this country could be supplied with 50 Mbit / s, after the end of 2011 the rate was 48 percent. By 2014, the government plans for 75 percent by 2018 and to provide for 100 percent of the population corresponding connectivity. Especially the six years distant goal but was due to the "great economic gap" in the last 25 percent is hardly realistic, gave the SDP Member of Parliament Martin Dörmann consider. Here better promotion programs be required. Andreas Schuseil from the economics department built on the other hand, the second "digital dividend" with the release of other, initially reserved for radio frequencies that could be developed hopefully by 2015.
