‘Google Pays Orange To Carry Video Traffic’ – ‘The Forrester Blog’
The latest article on ‘The Forrester Blog’ is titled “Google Pays Orange To Carry Video Traffic”.
Dan Bieler says, “Orange’s CEO mentioned during a business show on French TV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_g2zB-TUtk) that Orange is receiving money from Google for transmitting Google’s traffic (most of which stems from YouTube). No details about the financial arrangement of the year-old deal were disclosed.
Given the well-known explosion in data traffic, carriers must invest a significant amount in their network infrastructure to support this traffic. (See the Forrester report “The Future Of Telecom: Strategies To Move Off The Endangered Species List” http://goo.gl/Wx7vt for more information.) For years, carriers have argued that online service providers (OSPs) like Google should pay for using the carrier network infrastructure”.
