Telecom operators: pressure on the streaming giants
– According to Arcep, the telecoms regulator, more than half of Internet traffic in France comes from four players: Netflix, Google (with YouTube), Akamai (which distributes Disney content in particular) and Facebook. Some telecom operators seek to derive revenue from it, whereas they must constantly invest in the networks. Added to this are environmental consequences in a context where all operators have made commitments to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 or 2040. However, the prospect of a code of good conduct, which would cap the resolution of videos on smartphones, appears more realistic than the economic track because attempts at financial contributions have failed in the past.
