Cisco Recommends: Partner, Enhance QoE and Monetize OTT Video

  
A new brochure from Cisco "Premium Mobile Video Services" (here) explains how mobile operators may drive new revenues by differentiated service delivery.

Cisco recommends mobile operators to:
  1. Partner with OTT video content providers
     
  2. Use an intelligent mobile gateway  (Cisco ASR-5000, for example - here) with application awareness capabilities and a Policy and Charging Control to  identify when subscribers are watching the OTT partner content, enforce a "better than best-effort data connection" and charge "a small fee to the user"
It seems like everybody is happy with the Google-Verizon idea of not applying Net Neutrality to wireless services.
