Mr. O'Brien interviews of the European operators provide a direct testimony for their traffic management needs and/or actual deployments:
Frederic Gastaldo, the head of strategy and innovation at Swisscom: “..However, customers who do excessively use our data network are a big challenge for us" - Georg Merdian, director of the company’s infrastructure regulation Kabel Deutschland: “We anticipate we will soon have to use some kind of management techniques”
- Richard Feasey, public policy director, Vodafone “We use a form of network management to say, ‘I’m sorry, you are not going to be able to get the same level of service unless you decide to top up'”
Robert Mourik, director of regulatory policy in Europe, Telefónica: “We have an explosion of traffic, but our revenues have not been growing at the same pace or staying flat ... What we are looking to do are commercial deals.”
