FT Orange CEO: "we have to be more efficient in the network management"

   
Paul Rasmussen from Fierce Wireless reports from the LeWeb conference in Paris on FT-Orange CEO, Stephane Richard presentation (See "FT Orange: 10x more data traffic in two years time, says CEO" - here and video below):
 
".. expected 10 times more data traffic in two years time than seen in its network today .. It's good news: it means that there are new users, and there is an area for growth .. we don't have any problems in terms of managing the capacity today. But clearly we have to anticipate the future ..  in the face of a traffic explosion, clearly we have to be more efficient in the network management, and that will lead us to work on specific plans that will give differentiated access according to quality of service, and probably the period of time in the day or week .. this shift wasn't necessarily about consumers paying more, but about managing the "scarce resource" of bandwidth . Nobody can accept the situation where 10% of people are consuming 70% of the resource"
