Partner Service Controls help Operator Differentiate Service for OTT Partners
agosto 9, 2010 - Openet
In early July, YouTube announced support for 4k video, which basically means a larger format (4096x3072 pixels), which in turn requires more bandwidth and computers that have the power to process/translate images this large
With this in mind, partner service controls - i.e split billing, session-aware and subscriber network control - are needed in an operator's network to differentiate service for OTT partners, and allow them to head down the path of differentiated services for premier partners.
The world is moving to faster computers, faster pipes and better/bigger screens. The only thing missing is "smarter pipes" and that's where Openet fits in with its Partner Service Controls solution.
