South Africa’s telecoms industry body is pushing for digital content and service providers to help pay for the roll out of network infrastructure because they generate a huge part of the internet traffic. From a report: The Association of Comms and Technology (ACT) CEO Nomvuyiso Batyi said that the revenues generated by over-the-top (OTT) platforms and the continued success of the OTT model was dependent on the availability of high-quality, reliable and efficient network infrastructure. So “what we’re saying is that the OTTs should contribute towards the network upgrades, the network building,” she added. OTT platforms or services deliver digital content such as video, audio and messaging directly to consumers over the internet. “Fair share” arrangements ensure that OTT providers contribute to the costs of building, maintaining, and upgrading the infrastructure that supports their business.
