  • Why Youtube Buffers: the Secret Deals That Make—And Break—Online Video When Isps and Video Providers Fight Over Money, Internet Users Suffer

    Why Youtube Buffers: the Secret Deals That Make—And Break—Online Video When Isps and Video Providers Fight Over Money, Internet Users Suffer

    Why YouTube buffers: The secret deals that make—and break—online video When ISPs and video providers fight over money, Internet users suffer. Lee Hutchinson has a problem. My fellow Ars writer is a man who loves to watch YouTube videos— mostly space rocket launches and gun demonstrations, I assume—but he never knows when his home Internet service will let him do so. "For at least the past year, I've suffered from ridiculously awful YouTube speeds," Hutchinson tells me. "Ads load quickly—there's never anything wrong with the ads!—but during peak times, HD videos have been almost universally unwatchable. I've found myself having to reduce the quality down to 480p and sometimes even down to 240p to watch things without buffering. More recently, videos would start to play and buffer without issue, then simply stop buffering at some point between a third and two-thirds in. When the playhead hit the end of the buffer—which might be at 1:30 of a six-minute video—the video would hang for several seconds, then simply end. The video's total time would change from six minutes to 1:30 minutes and I'd be presented with the standard 'related videos' view that you see when a video is over." Hutchinson, a Houston resident who pays Comcast for 16Mbps business-class cable, is far from alone. As one Ars reader recently complained, "YouTube is almost unusable on my [Verizon] FiOS connection during peak hours." Another reader responded, "To be fair, it's unusable with almost any ISP." Hutchinson's YouTube playback has actually gotten better in recent weeks.

    BT Group PLC: Wholesale-Only Overhang

    Equity Research Telecommunications | European Telecom Services BT Group PLC 3 May 2018 Stock Rating EQUAL WEIGHT Wholesale-Only overhang from Overweight Industry View POSITIVE In a separate report published today, The Rise of Wholesale Only, we analyse the Unchanged impact Open Fiber is having in Italy and the extent to which it can be replicated Price Target GBp 280 elsewhere. Italy appears an ideal market for fostering alternative infrastructure lowered -20% from GBp 350 build (and increased retail competition). We note actual competitor builds to date in the UK have been few and far between, even if the narrative has been consistently Price (01-May-2018) GBp 245 noisy. However, we do see BT as potentially vulnerable, especially given the Potential Upside/Downside +14.3% increased focus of numerous infrastructure funds and regulatory direction. Tickers BT/A LN / BT.L Resolution of this overhang for BT looks unlikely, in our view. Reflecting this, we lower our medium-term forecasts, cut our PT to 280p and move BT to Equal Weight.

    Stellungnahme Der Deutsche Telekom AG Zum Entwurf Einer Neuen Förderrichtlinie „Mobilfunkförderung“ Des Bundes Vom 22.07.2020

    Stellungnahme der Deutsche Telekom AG zum Entwurf einer neuen Förderrichtlinie „Mobilfunkförderung“ des Bundes vom 22.07.2020 Der Mobilfunkausbau in Deutschland wird von den privatwirtschaftlichen Ausbauplänen der Mobilfunkbetreiber getragen. Die Telekom ist einer der wesentlichen Akteure dieses Ausbaus. Die Telekom investiert jedes Jahr über EUR 5 Mrd. in den Netzausbau in Deutsch- land – deutlich mehr als alle Wettbewerber. Dazu gehört der Bau von tausenden neuer Mobilfunkstandorte pro Jahr und Upgrades bestehender Masten. Zur Verbesserung der Netzabdeckung auch gerade in weißen Flecken kooperiert die Telekom auch mit den ande- ren beiden Mobilfunknetzbetreibern Vodafone und Telefónica. Hinzu kommt der bundes- weite Ausbau von Glasfasernetzen im Festnetz. Dieser privatwirtschaftliche Netzausbau ist im Kern wettbewerblich getrieben. Die Tele- kom betreibt bereits heute ein hochleistungsfähiges Mobilfunknetz, mit ausgezeichneter Übertragungsqualität und einer Netzabdeckung der Bevölkerung mit LTE von bundesweit über 98 %. Die ambitionierte Ausbaupläne der Telekom verfolgen unter der Maßgabe „5G bis 2025“ das Ziel, diese Spitzenposition im deutschen Mobilfunkmarkt zu halten und 99% der Haushalte und 90% der Fläche mit 5G zu versorgen und so sowohl die Coverage unseres Netzes zu erhöhen als auch den stetig steigenden Erwartungen unserer Kunden an mobile Datenmengen und Übertragungsqualitäten zu genügen.1 Zusätzlich zu diesen wettbewerblichen Anreizen hat sich die Telekom, wie die anderen Mo- bilfunknetzbetreiber, zu hohen Versorgungsauflagen verpflichtet, die der Frequenzauktion 2019 zugrunde lagen. Im Mobilfunkgipfel 2018 haben sich die Mobilfunknetzbetreiber zu- dem zu einem Netzausbau verpflichtet, der sogar noch über diese Auflagen hinausgeht: Die TDG wird zusammen mit Vodafone und Telefónica bis Ende 2020 99% der Haushalte bun- desweit und bis Ende 2021 99% der Haushalte in jedem Bundesland erschließen.

    Not to be released until: February 27, 2009, 10:00 a.m. / Start statement René Obermann – Check against delivery – Statement delivered at the press conference on Deutsche Telekom’s FY results 2008 February 27, 2009 in Bonn Dr. Karl-Gerhard Eick Member of the Board of Management Finance Deputy CEO Deutsche Telekom AG Thank you, René! I am very pleased with our full-year financial results. We achieved a turn- around in adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted net income. Ad- justed EBITDA grew by 0.7 percent to almost EUR 19.5 billion, driven by Mobile and an improved trend in domestic Broadband/Fixed Network, which came in slightly better than the original guidance range. Free cash flow im- proved to EUR 7 billion, supported by working capital, lower restructuring payments, and lower net interest payments, more than offsetting higher in- come tax payments and higher cash capex. Adjusted net income improved by 14 percent to EUR 3.4 billion due, in particular, to lower D&A. Net debt increased only modestly by EUR 0.9 billion to EUR 38.2 billion, despite EUR 4.4 billion spent on acquisitions (net of divestments), namely SunCom and OTE, and despite cash capex of EUR 8.7 billion. This is a reflection of our very strong cash flow generation. - 2 - Let me remind you that we were faced with a significant currency headwind last year. Assuming constant exchange rates revenues would have been EUR 1.3 billion higher. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA would have been EUR 0.3 billion higher. Adjusted for these currency effects and changes in the scope of consolidation, organic revenues were flat last year, while or- ganic adjusted EBITDA grew by 0.8 percent.
