Piracy haitaisha,wacha tungoje codes mupya
DStv should fund research why people stream illegal channel. And work on the recommendation. Hapa kama ni bei iko juu wapungumze. Halafu waanze kuprovide data na supersport in one package.
Wakicharge 8k per month 10mbs. Hapa safarithieves wanafunga kibanda.
ISPs and IXs focus on passing traffic along backhauls in the shortest amount of time possible and as efficiently and effectively as possible. Content filtering, scanning, decrypting and re-encrypting operations are usually passed along to the end user, as not only do they require more sophisticated and expesnive equipment, they also need expertise and a dedicated team or department owing to the ever changing nature and increasing sophistication of piracy and evasion techniques.
Requiring ISPs, IXs to do this kind of work will mean they must do all the above and more, plus there must be a coordinated effort across all ISPs, which I find not only unlikely but close to impossible.
ISPs aren’t going to spend tens to hundreds of millions on equipment which won’t earn them more revenue or ease their operations just because mutichoice and some compromised court said so. At the very least I expect some appeals.
Thanks bro. I have learnt something new today. Just to confirm that I understood; you are saying filtering content is expensive and not in the bet interest of ISPs due to the equipment involved and the ever changing piracy environment?
Yes, plus it has the potential of creating a massive bottleneck in a place (network core) where speedy routing of traffic is the primary goal.
clearly that is a fight they can’t win, just yesterday I watched all PL games on twitter and it didn’t buffer for one second ! will they compel isps to block twitter too ? these sites keep cropping up on the daily
DSTV should introduce pay per view… Wafanye research noma as to be able to ascertain where exactly a decoder is located and what its used for (bar, club, hotel room, private residence etc) and introduce data connectivity to the decoders. Ili kuwe na different pricing per use of decoder per viewing event. A football match individual ukilipia from a prepaid account iwe automated to generate a QR code or the like to give it a unique ID link for the particular game/programme for viewing and the account debited for the same… Or something of the sort, ambao wanaelewa the direction will how the execution will be. If it is very affordable to everyone and convenient then piracy can be outwitted since ata streams hucheza zinakataa mara lag (wasee wa live betting mnajijua na hassle za kuwekelea na game iko nyuma to real time) etc… Pay per view (VOD) and economies of scale is what will save multichoice… The horde is against them and multichoice is seemingly incapable of engaging this innovation
