TXT spam
General, posted: 7-Sep-2009 12:04
Righto, seems like you chaps don't approve of the idea that low prices for TXT will equal spam so I thought we should have a chat about it.
Compare the TXT message world with email. The main differences (aside from size restraints) are price and trace-ability.
Price first. The cost of sending an email is hidden from the customer. It's built in to your connection price. This is a good thing in many ways - email is first, and foremost, the single biggest application on the in (read the entire post)...

The morning kicks off with a quick chat about glide paths - do we introduce regulated prices overnight or follow the international lead and lower them over a period of time, and if so, how long should that period be.
Strangely, Two Degrees says no glide path and the operators say they should have a glide path.
TUANZ feels there's already been a glide path and that's enough for him thanks.

Commerce Commission: Final Pricing Principle

3.15pm I have no idea what that means in Commission speak so will stay tuned. They're going to discuss TSLRIC (tea-ess-lyric) versus Bill and Keep (BAK) or BAK hybrid that includes something about out of balance traffic.
no idea what that means.
TSLRIC - a: the forward looking cost over the total plant attributable to the cost and b: forward looking common costs, more or less.
We're going to talk about whether TSLRIC or LRIC is more appropriate.

Q: Will reducing termination rates reduce retail prices?
2D, Kordia, CallPlus all say yes.
Telecom, Vodafone both say no because some customers will be forced to pay more.
Those customers who are net receivers of calls become uneconomic for telcos and are charged accordingly (eg Bill and Keep in the US).
2D says Termination rates set a price floor below which you cannot sell to customers.
Vodafone points out Telecom introduced (read the entire post)...
