CEO of Telefónica, Julio Linares, has launched a serious warning to the telecommunications industry to comment the current Internet model "is not sustainable."
"The main problem facing the sector is going through a severe decoupling traffic growth, network cost, revenue generated and inversion stress," he argued from the University Menéndez Pelayo de Santander . According
Linares All these factors cause a series of 'asymmetries' and including the most talked about: that caused by Internet users. "In Spain, 5% of mobile broadband users produces 75% of traffic. In Germany, 5% of these users produce 90%", said, "that is, the average user is subsidizing user intensive. "
Thus, for the CEO of Telefonica, the solution is necessarily more costly for those most connected, and we can not allow "users to more reasonable consumption will be penalized" he explained.
All this despite the fact that just two months ago the official position Movistar expressed by a company spokesman, denied "categorically" that would doom the flat rate ADSL in Spain, after a series of documents published in ADSLZone.es shuffled in which different models that penalize excessive consumption data by applying traffic restrictions or limiting the speed of downloading more customers.
At that time, the company said it "does not arise" modify their conditions of flat rate for now or later ", calling the information published in" lie. "
At higher rates, higher quality
Linares explained that a solution to end the 'asymmetries' above would provide a more efficient supply and quality to different customers based on their needs and reach "greater segmentation in rates depending on the variety of customers."
A managed network model which, according to Linares, "does not conflict with the net neutrality debate which fortunately is being exceeded, but it also has to play things like sharing assets with other financial companies or applications under a revenue sharing model.
Linares and alerts. In a market forecast for 2020 of 50,000 million devices, it is time to "provide solutions group, because the individual is no longer enough to respond to all of this wave. "
