Broadcasts of World Cup soccer, tennis matches WTA Tour de Pologne and Champions League Qualifiers – are just some of the events viewed outside the home on cells or tablet. This is made possible by the fact that operators are free to make subscriptions to sports events and cultural directly to mobile devices. Yes transmitted TV does not consume granted to us by the provider of data packets.
Streaming, TV or the Internet, causing a sharp increase in data transfers in mobile networks. For example, at T-Mobile in January this year. customers used 2,767 TB of data, about 50 per cent. more than a year earlier. This is comparable to the size of nearly 346 thousand. high-quality HD movies with 8 GB each. In June, the subscribers of the network can transmit data already in the LTE network, used 3176 TB (almost 400 thousand. Movies in HD), or by 15 percent. more.
says Konrad Frost T-Mobile , the growing consumption of Internet network is the result of one side of the growing popularity of smartphones, tablets and notebooks (in July every second sold in T-Mobile phones operate the LTE technology), and the other operator’s offer. – From August 3 users tariffs Jump at no additional charge for the content and data transfer can track the most important cycling race in Poland, ie 71 Tour de Pologne – emphasizes Frost. In July, the network subscribers could include watch online meetings the second qualifying round of the Champions League with the participation of Legia Warsaw.
Orange customers can watch in June selected concerts Orange Festival. In turn, odbiorcu Plus Cyfrowy Polsat and soon also see on smartphones and tablet world championships in men’s volleyball. – Our goal is to offer all customers the widest possible group access to the events in the different technologies. The details we will inform you shortly – announces Olga Zomer, a spokeswoman for CP . – Also working on a solution, so that access to the World Cup as a gift, customers will receive the Plus – adds Zomer.
TV on demand, streaming and OTT services (such HBO GO and Netflix) are responsible for a significant increase in Internet traffic in fixed networks. – Just three years ago the average customer Netia consumed per month from 12 to 15 GB of data. A year ago, it was already 60 GB – says Andrzej Kondracki from the press office of Netia. He adds that in the spring of this year. sent on 80 GB per month, and currently about 100 GB.
Cable networks do not reveal the average Internet use, but admit that they can be seen also in an increase in the exchange of data. – Growing customer interest in increasingly faster speeds of the Internet. Our observations indicate that the faster internet, the harder it is used, not only to enjoy digital entertainment, but also work and develop their own business – notes Michael Fura, a spokesman for UPC . He adds that the longer the time spent by users on the network and its intensive use translates into an increase in the number of transferred data. – In our case we also observe an increase in the level of several tens of percent a year – reveals Fura. Experts estimate that cable networks in Poland, the average consumption per user is slightly more than 100 GB per month.
Live world championship cells or T-Mobile Plus is an example of the direction in which tend mobile operators. Telecoms seek new sources of revenue because of falling revenues from voice services and increasingly fall shoes kablówek program offer connecting service to access the Internet. Now advertise themselves as an alternative to fixed-line operators. On the one hand, offer more interesting content, which can be used on mobile devices, and the Internet on a TV. On the other – increase Internet packages or completely abolish limits data transfer. All are fighting for the same customer. The old division of the market according to the technology of access ceases to have meaning. This is evidenced by the new tariffs, such as T-Mobile Jump, where customers can enjoy up to 100 GB of data transfer per month, and Power LTE Cyfrowy Polsat and positive territory, where under the LTE network the internet is unlimited. As part of the promotion, for the time being until the end of 2015, with free unlimited LTE users can also use some tariffs Playa.
In fixed networks, where the limits do not exist, the race is on it who will provide the fastest speed. Some UPC subscribers can now surf the web with a speed of 500 m / s Research carried out in 2013 for the purpose of “Social Diagnosis” shows that people who are at home with a higher bandwidth link, spend significantly more time using the Internet. Among users of combined speed of 60 Mb / s or faster average time spent on the network is 18 hours per week. With slower links have served an average of 10 hours per week.
European Commission endorsed the decision of the President of UKE, which stated that there is competition in the market for wholesale Internet access (BSA ) in 76 municipalities in Poland (we wrote about it last week). The Commission acknowledged that competition in these areas is mainly due to the presence of alternative infrastructure providers, and not regulated product BSA, LLU (ie the wholesale broadband access and access to the local loop).
The draft decision was notified on July 30, but information about it was released only yesterday. Consent Brussels means that Orange in selected municipalities will not have to share your links on the principles of regulated competition. UKE provision will come into force probably in September.
– This project was for me also personally important. That’s what happened in the broadband access market, which is a huge increase in the share of cable and inhibition of investments from the largest telecom operator, has shown that the regulation is not a panacea to the problems of the market – stressed Magdalena Gaj, President of UKE. In her view, regulation should act as a surgeon’s scalpel – precisely and only where it is needed.
Orange announced that it is pleased with the EC decision and believes that the changes are crucial for market development and competition in Poland.
Consent KE hits the Netia, which also provides services on leased lines. The operator last week launched a website Dropss for Orange customers with dozens of gold cheaper than Neostrada.
