Greedy BT

Same old story here folks big telecom provider who has taken on customers with the promise of unlimited use wants to change the rules.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/23/bt_hogs/

Quote
BT is pulling the plug on around 4,000 broadband hogs because of "excessive usage". The giant telco reckons these punters - who make up less than 0.2 per cent of the firm's 2.3m broadband users - are consistently hoovering up more 100 gig each a month.

Letters have already been sent to those fingered by BT with the telco insisting that the overwhelming majority of its users are unaffected by this move. It seems that these "exceptionally heavy users are in consistent breach of BT's fair usage policy and have failed to respond to requests to contact BT to discuss the matter.

As a result, BT has warned that these punters will have their broadband services suspended from 21 March and is bracing itself for a stack of calls from people who wake up to find that their broadband line is dead.

When BT say they want to talk folks what they actually mean is they are demanding you pay a £1 per Gb charge for any use above a cap , but what of their users who signed up before the cap took effect and have a contract for unlimited service ?

I think they should honour their own agreements and update their network to provide folks with the service they pay for, as they do not along with the other providers refund any cash if your a light user, greed greed and more greed.

Yes I am and I am also one of the customers who signed up for an unlimited service , more fool me for hoping they would stick by their promise to their customers, I have the feeling that its a lot more than the 0.2 % of users they are claiming as I am not even a heavy user.
Downloads take up a very small fraction of the net activity here.

Bulldog Bamboozle ?

Hmm it seems some folks are not being honest to there users

http://networks.silicon.com/broadband/0,39024661,39157705,00.htm

Quote
Bulldog has been told off by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over a deal that wasn't as good as it sounded.

Bulldog's ads - which promised 8MB broadband for £9.75 per month "fixed for as long as you are with us" - drew complaints from rival telco BT and a member of the public, the ASA said.

The complaints centred around details of the deal, which saw new customers obliged to pay an extra £10.50 per month for a Bulldog phone line in order to take up the £9.75 deal.

Others members of the public also complained after being told by Bulldog the 8MB service wasn't available in their area and they were offered a more expensive and slower service as an alternative.

Bulldog responded that the £10.50 phone subscription was made clear in the ad's asterisked small print and was not "a significant condition".


I actually have looked at this company myself efore and they did mention the phone line change so I,m sure it was because of the small print it was in, clearly a more helpful way would be to make it more prominent in the advert.

Folks I think the BPI thinks we are all idiots with this latest PR stunt :evil:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2006/05/07/cnbpi07.xml&menuId=242&sSheet=/money/2006/05/07/ixcitytop.html

The BPI, the body that represents British record companies, believes copyright on CDs and records should be changed to allow consumers to copy music if it is for personal use. Currently, it is technically illegal for anyone to copy a CD onto their computer for the purposes of downloading music onto their own portable music player.
In its submission to the Gowers Review - the independent review body set up by the Treasury to examine the UK's intellectual property framework - the BPI has asked for the issue of this area of music copyright to be addressed.


At a first read through, this would be taken by many to mean they are planning to remove the legal blocks from allowing you to use your own music that you have paid for on a portable player ?
Read on folks ...

Quote
It is believed the organisation, which represents the likes of EMI and Sanctuary, prefers the option of altering copyright protections on music without the requirement for a change in legislation.

Hmm so they have now switched this to mean as long as it contains their DRM crap you can listen to the music you paid for, this is not all, a further reading reveals the following

Quote
The Gowers Review, led by Andrew Gowers, the former editor of the Financial Times, will look to update a raft of antiquated laws and address the contentious issue of artists losing copyright protection on recorded music after 50 years.



So here we have the bigger rip off being hidden behind the announcement above, the greedy music industry fronted by the BPI are in cahoots with certain artists to try to enact laws that secure a nice income for themselves by extending the time a work can remain under copyright, in other words they want to alter an existing deal that has already been struck with the consumer many years ago to suit themselves, what are they offering in return ?

Yes folks not a single thing, the law change suggested at the top of this article is so out of date no one actually abides by it in the UK so they are in effect just acknowledging the consumers right to listen to paid for music and in a way that suits their greed by trying to make sure its on their terms.

This smokescreen may blind others but I can smell these people a long way off.

I was roaming the sites folks and came across this article.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5040676.stm

Quote
Fast is largely concerned with copyright enforcement and, as a result, it is closely allied with the music and film industry, both of whom are very worried about unauthorised copying of their products.
Fast thinks that the police don't take enough notice of software piracy, and it would like more forms of copyright infringement to be treated as criminal rather than civil matters, so that the police can prosecute instead of leaving it to the lawyers to sue.

This serves the interests of the film and music industries, of course, since they would like to see anyone who downloads a song without permission prosecuted in the criminal courts.


As mentioned in the article, the usual vested interests are up to their old tricks of exaggeration and extremism, lets hope the review takes this into account and reflects a view that is supportable by ordinary folks

Coke Music Service Goes Belly Up
« Reply #48 on: June 21, 2006, 11:19:05 am »
Its not being shouted from the rooftops but this is an indication of the strength of iTlunes in the online music market.

http://today.reuters.com/stocks/QuoteCompanyNewsArticle.aspx?view=CN&storyID=2006-06-20T191909Z_01_N20444860_RTRIDST_0_MEDIA-MYCOKEMUSIC.XML&rpc=66

Quote
Coca-Cola said on Tuesday it will close its British online music service mycokemusic.com on July 31, after losing market share to Apple Computer Inc.'s  iTunes Music Store.
Mycokemusic launched in Britain in January 2004 and quickly became the biggest online music download service there in brand recognition and sales. But it was overtaken later in the year by iTunes, which launched a dedicated U.K. site in June 2004.

Mycokemusic posted notice of the closure on its Web site on Tuesday.
"In 2004, the digital music scene was just developing and the only way for Coke to offer access to music downloads was to open our own store. That's not true today and there is no need for Coke to continue to run a store," said the statement.

As many have said this DRM infested service is no loss to us all, this seems like a face saving move by Coke after losing major market share.

Consumer Power Aids Fairer Prices
« Reply #49 on: July 05, 2006, 07:24:09 pm »
It seems the industry are doing something good here in bridging the  gap between legal downloads and CD prices.

http://arts.guardian.co.uk/netmusic/story/0,,1813149,00.html?www.reghardware.co.uk
Quote
Universal Music, the world's largest record group, has acknowledged the growing power of iTunes by pricing back-catalogue CDs in line with their download versions.
Universal is to split its CDs into three price and product ranges in Europe to revitalise a format that accounts for more than 90% of record sales. The most significant change is the introduction of a "basic" CD for older recordings, that will wrap the album in a card case with no sleeve notes.

Universal expects the basic CDs, to sell for €9.99 (£6.92) - in line with the average cost of a chart album download. More than 3m "basic" albums were sold when Universal tested the format on European markets last year.

Max Hole, executive vice-president of marketing said downloading had revitalised interest in back catalogues, contributing to the decision to cut prices. "If you bring the price down, catalogue sales start to move again"

The new formats will be introduced across the UK and Europe from September.


I see this as a great step in meeting the fair demands of the consumer, I am certain that making the back catalogue material available at this fair price will prove to be one of their more wise moves and the consumer will thank them for it by making more purchases, well done Universal  :D

I sense something illegal here.

http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=15198&Page=1&pagePos=1

Quote
UK record label trade body the BPI has written to ISPs Tiscali and Cable & Wireless to demand they close the accounts of 59 people it accuses of file-sharing music.
The BPI describes the move as a "significant development" in its campaign. Until now it has focused its fight against individual file-sharers, but this takes the irate industry up against the ISPs, which the BPI says: "Have so far failed to take effective steps to stop file-sharers".

BPI chairman Peter Jamieson said: "We have demonstrated in the courts that unauthorised filesharing is against the law. We have said for months that it is unacceptable for ISPs to turn a blind eye to industrial-scale copyright infringement. We are providing Tiscali and Cable & Wireless with unequivocal evidence of copyright infringement via their services. It is now up to them to put their house in order and pull the plug on these people."

The BPI's evidence has been culled from its work monitoring activity on file-sharing networks. The organisation has been collecting user's IP addresses, from which it can detect which ISPs handle the traffic. It can then request the identity of a user from the ISP.

The BPI has identified 17 Tiscali IP addresses and 42 Cable & Wireless IP addresses which have been used to upload significant quantities of music owned by BPI members. It is requesting that the ISPs suspend the accounts of the 59 individuals until they sign undertakings agreeing to stop unauthorised filesharing.



To gather the data on file sharing users in the UK they need to have registered their activities with the data protection registrar, if they have failed to do so they are comitting a criminal offence, its also illegal to gather personally identifiable information without the permission of those who it is being obtained from, I think a letter to draw the data protection registrars attention to these serious breaches of the law is in order.

Under European law so called "evidence" may also be ruled illegal if this data has been gathered from outside of the  EU to avoid complying with EU rules as was seen in a Danish court last year.

It seems from this report that if ISP,s are going ahead with large scale high definition video content, we are all going to be paying for its delivery, whether we wish to or not.

http://news.zdnet.co.uk/communications/0,39020336,39278441,00.htm

Quote
Widespread downloading of high-definition (HD) movies and TV over the Internet could force providers to charge users extra, a new report has suggested.
The report, published by the IP Development Network, claims a two-hour HD movie, of around 9GB in size, could cost an Internet service provider (ISP) as much as £21.13 to transmit via IP streaming. This is more than many broadband users pay each month, and could mean the ISP forces the customer to bear the cost.

Even if the ISP has the money to invest in local loop unbundling — whereby it installs its own equipment in a BT exchange rather than buying its connection through BT Wholesale — that movie could still cost the ISP £2.10, says the report.

The report's author, Jeremy Penston, said that the current evolution of content  means "it is out on the Internet and not in the control of the ISP".

But some observers have suggested that the report's predictions are out of line with the likely uptake of HD-TV.
"The analysis is not applicable to the UK market today or in 2007," Jupiter Research's Ian Fogg said on Monday.
"It's kind of assuming that consumers will download large amounts of HD content across the Internet, which is unproven. HD-TV is a problem on IP, but it's not happening today and not going to happen in the immediate future in terms of large volumes of HD consumers. By the time it arrives in any mass-market sense, the costs will have changed."

I have to laugh at any reports of woes at the ISP level, they are free after all to start rolling out optical fibre networks to neighbourhoods that have a high percentage of broadband users, The time to invest is now while the DSL bandwagon is rolling strongly, delaying a network upgrade till your totally saturated and unable to meet customers expectations is not really the best policy as far as I'm concerned, and contrary to what the report claimed many users are more than willing to pay for a service that is guaranteed unlimited rather than be fobbed off with ones that are not as advertised.

ignoring the obvious inaccuracies there (like when was the last time you downloaded something that was 9GB literally the only thing I've seen that large are entire TV series...) it does seem to have overlooked the largest problem users have there, have a look at the 2 prices, first the price they claim for a BT line then the price without BT in the way... and they wonder why it's only companies using BT lines that have started throttling etc...

BT charge huge amounts to ISPs and literally the largest cost most of those ISPs have is the cost of their BT connections, an ADSL ISP pays for their own equipment and connection to the Internet, prices there have fallen a lot and it doesn't cost them much, then they pay for the end users connections to BT (ie. your ADSL line rental) which is often their second biggest cost, then their biggest cost by far is they then pay BT again for a connection from BT to their equipment (so that users can be connected to them)

a connection to BT in order to sell ADSL (before you even have any customers) can be several million a month, then you pay again to allow your connection to be used for a specific exchange (every exchange you want to sell ADSL on you have to pay again) then you have to pay yet again for each customer to have their line activated

the end result is that BT take the majority of the ISPs income, the costs of providing quality Internet access is minimal but when an ISP only gets a tiny fraction of the money from the customer then they can't provide much

if regulators want to see prices go down by a lot, and at the same time have the profit of those ISPs go up then there is a very simple way to do it - sort out BT

just look at the services being offered by other providers who do not depend on BT, lower prices and faster connections in many cases, and plenty of free capacity so they don't need to put limitations on usage - once they have payed for the line to your home that one off payment is over with (setup fee) then it's merely a case of having connections from their network to the rest of the Internet, which is extremely cheap (plus the fact that can oversell by so much without any drop in service lowest costs a lot)

A very worrying move here in this UK government proposal.

http://news.zdnet.co.uk/0,39020330,39279134,00.htm

Quote
The Home Office is pushing for sweeping powers to ban suspected hackers from using the Internet, but security experts are concerned that civil liberties could be infringed
The Home Office wants to give the police and the courts sweeping new powers which could see suspected hackers and spammers receiving the cyber equivalent of an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo).

The proposals are contained within a Home Office green paper called New Powers Against Organised and Financial Crime", published on Monday.
A Home Office spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that the proposals, if enforced, would give the police and courts "extensive powers" against suspected hackers and spammers, which could extend to banning people from using the Internet.

The proposed Serious Crime Prevention Order is intended to combat organised crime where the police do not have enough evidence to bring a criminal prosecution. It would enable civil courts to impose the orders on individuals, even if they had not been convicted of a crime.

"It would be a good piece in the law-enforcement arsenal, if judiciously used," said Richard Starnes, president of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA).
"Obviously one pitfall is that this could adversely affect people's civil liberties, without going through the judicial process. The judicial process is there for a reason — to prevent the State from abusing its citizens," said Starnes.

Here is the Proposal

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/documents/new-powers-paper.pdf?view=Binary

One again justice is one of the first casualties in the never ending political game that seeks to find scapegoats for government policy failures.

If we go down the road of allowing flawed and dangerous laws that require no proof of any sort to be shown,  backed by draconian penalties, we give a green light to injustice and in effect open the law up to ridicule and disrespect, bad law is ignored as easily as good law and more so in cases where it is plainly unjust.

Those scared by this attack on civil rights should read the proposal and write to the home office and their MP, allowing the criminalisation of the innocent is a worrying trend and contrary to the respected ethos of "innocent until proven guilty", proof being the operative word.

Broadband ISP Changing
« Reply #54 on: August 19, 2006, 11:58:09 pm »
It looks like OFTEL (the UK telecoms regulator) is set to enact some regulations to ensure consumers are dealt with fairly when changing broadband ISP's.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5259212.stm

Quote
Switching between broadband providers could get easier as Ofcom proposes changes to existing rules.
The telecoms regulator said increasing numbers of consumers were encountering difficulties when changing from one high-speed supplier to another.
Currently, those wanting to switch need to be given a Migration Authorisation Code (MAC), but Ofcom said companies were not always providing this.
It proposes making it mandatory for service providers to issue MACs.

A spokesman from the Internet Services Providers' Association (ISPA) said there was a voluntary industry scheme at the moment that was set up to make it a lot easier for customers to move - but added that not all ISPs are members of this.


I think the public are more content with legal regulation than voluntary schemes that allow for abuse.

Once more into the fray for the British library.

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/94639/british-library-shouts-out-against-unfair-drm.html

Quote
The British Library is continuing its campaign against the threat of digital rights management (DRM) technology to the management of UK cultural data.
'The current stand-off on IP threatens innovation, research and our digital heritage,' declared its CEO, Lynne Brindley.

She highlighted that currently the law does not permit copying of sound or film items for preservation. Without the right for libraries and archives to make copies, she maintained, the UK risks losing a large part of its recorded culture.

'We at the British Library use DRMs to manage our collections and we recognise they can be a valuable tool,' Brindley said at the time. 'However, while protecting rights holders against infringement they can prevent copying of material for fair dealing purposes. Digital material generally comes with a contract, and these contracts are nearly always more restrictive than existing copyright law and frequently prevent copying, archiving and access by the visually impaired.'

I would not sign anything and fall back on the copyright acts provisions that make it unlawful to publish anything without issuing copies to named repositories , let the pressure of being taken to court weigh on the content/rightsholders rather than allow them to place undue and immoral burdens on the library system that was in operation before copyright law was enacted and will be around long after its gone.

It seems a noted entity has voiced its opinion that we should be allowed to copy our own music that we have paid for.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6095612.stm

Quote
A think-tank has called for outdated copyright laws to be rewritten to take account of new ways people listen to music, watch films and read books.
The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) is calling for a "private right to copy".

It would decriminalise millions of Britons who break the law each year by copying their CDs onto music players.
Making copies of CDs and DVDs for personal use would have little impact on copyright holders, the IPPR argues.
Copyright issues have, in the past, been steered too much by the music industry, the report said.

Report author Kay Withers said: "The idea of all-rights reserved doesn't make sense for the digital era and it doesn't make sense to have a law that everyone breaks. To give the IP regime legitimacy it must command public respect."

The report also calls for the government to reject calls from the UK music industry to extend the copyright term for sound recording beyond the current 50 years.


I support this report as it makes a clear set of reasonable suggestions that the recording industry would do well to take on board before changes are forced on it by the democratic will of the people, you cant fool all of the people all of the time with bogus claims  of "Potential" revenue losses that include folks who have bought a cd and made a copy for their car usage.
While its great to see that the think tank has spotted the wilful misleading of folks using patently fabricated statistics,  it seems its possible that those who cry wolf every few weeks are likely to be ignored...hopefuly  :D

It seems we are not the onlky ones concerned about the wholesale theft of culturaly important media.

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061102-8133.html

Quote
The UK is awaiting the release of a report by the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property, a task force charged with suggesting changes to the country's intellectual property laws.
The report, which was funded by the BBC, the British Library, and the UK Film Council, is an attempt to get beyond the rhetoric of IP maximalists who always want more protection and longer copyright terms and free culture radicals who want to "share information with impunity." Recognizing the legitimate private rights that must be granted to business in order to encourage investment and creative production, the authors of the report also make a strong case for "creating as strong a political voice for public domain as currently exists for other interests." Only when consumers (and the businesses that rely on public domain work) have a real seat at the table can the concerns of each group be properly balanced.

It looks quite obvious that this report is very concerned with the undue monopolistic influence being peddled from the US and other luddite organisations against the public of the UK.

I make the valid claim above that they are theives for the simple reason they use extortion as a form of business practice and try further to monopolise content even after the copyright has expired by various loopholes and semi-legal tricks, they further attempt to make their monopoly last even longer by pressurising politicians with biased industry paid for reports and plenty of them to present a false view of the situation to seek copyright extensions and other morally corrupt gains at the public expense..

If the government really wants to see some reform lets see them force the industry to pay the artists that record with them a decent share of the booty, its a fact  many have never been paid their royalties and what they do get is a pittance thanks to the Cartel operating against anyone trying to go it alone, they do control over 90% of all worldwide recording companies and production plants, this coupled with pay for play radio scams that halt non Cartel talent in its tracks is wrong, this corruption needs to be addressed.

It seems that the much hyped "free broadband" services have been found wanting by many.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6145738.stm

Quote
Customer satisfaction levels were also shown to have dropped 4% among home phone users compared to an earlier uSwitch survey conducted six months ago.
Steve Weller, head of communications services at uSwitch.com, said low-cost broadband deals had seen subscriber numbers rise by almost 650,000 since March.

"Free" broadband deals have resulted in a downturn in customer satisfaction levels, a report has said.
According to the uSwitch Customer Satisfaction Report, most providers fail to match rising customer numbers with improved services and technology.

The survey of more than 11,000 customers found a 9% drop in broadband satisfaction levels.
The report also says consumer trust in their internet suppliers is currently at an "all time low".



I,m sure most folks are aware they get what they pay for and expecting free ISP's to be as good as other pay services is in my view mere wishful thinking.

It seems when things go wong for UK broadband (ADSL) users, they go seriously wrong, luckily its a small proportion, or so they would have us believe  :?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6175983.stm

Quote
Switching broadband suppliers looks set to get easier for UK net users.
Regulator Ofcom has drawn up new rules to address complaints from the "significant minority" who struggle to move to a new high-speed service.

It said the rules would streamline procedures and would replace the voluntary code that broadband firms have abided by before now.
Ofcom said it was getting "increasing" complaints about the difficulties of shifting from one net firm to another.
Broadband has proved hugely popular in the UK and now more than 75% of all net connections in British homes are through fast net links.

Ofcom said it was getting "increasing" complaints from consumers who are unable to get a Mac from the supplier they wish to leave.
As a result Ofcom is making the issuing of a Mac part of the regulations governing net service firms. From 14 February 2007 broadband firms will be obliged to issue a Mac on request and will not be allowed to charge for it.


Having been on the receiving end of some of these companies so called "services", I have to say I,m sure the complaints are so low because there is no easy way of bringing a complaint and the average time for a written reply to a complaint is often at least 28 days and that in no way even addressed the point raised, all in all a complete mess that requires legal regulation to protect consumers ( and me  :D ).
