>The executive also said that the adoption of a data cap, under penalty of have the connection cut, is a global trend and a "path of no return"
Brazilian communication cartel is about to adopt a general data cap policy, something around 150GB. They're doing this because Youtube and Netflix are killing the cable TV market, and to use those services the costumers will have to pay more.
So, about the statement in the beginning of the thread, is that true? Things are going to be this bad in Europe and USA too? I can't believe this is happening.
Dickheads, if it isn't about racial mixing or election memes you don't even read. Fuck this place.
I'm listening senpai.
Your entire country is corrupt. It's not a problem with the current govt exclusively, it's your culture.
This isn't unexpected. Sort yourselves out and then come back.
>>70371773
Not really. Cable TV might die, but so be it. The fact that it's "a cartel" doesn't help.
>>70373572
I asked your opinion about a statement, you expressed your opinion about my flag. Stay classy, brit.
Yes, there is corruption here, but this kind of greedy business model sounds very "universal". I just wanna know if this "global trend" really exist.
>>70374162
That bong is bullshitting you. Data caps are coming to every country. Brazil is no different than the US when it comes to level of corruption. it's the same all around the world

Welcome to /pol/, lad. Enjoy being almost certainly ignored when they check your post's flag.
At this point the only thing that would fix Latin America is a violent revolution followed by a lot of executions
Too bad Obama/Hillary would fund whoever would stop that from happening.
We just started getting rid of ours
Google Fiber will save us. They have no invested interest in cable TV, and the more youtube you watch and more sites you visit, the more money they make. 1gb/s gon b gud.
somehow I think this will develop into a civil war, my opinion
>>70374480
It's more like Brazil is irrelevant
There is a pro Wall Street coup going on in your country and no one cares.
But rent seeking coprorations have taken over the world, look what Carlos Slim did to Mexico by seizing the telecom industry and price gouging.
That will happen to all of the US thanks to SOPA and the TPP just wait
That's what you get for not voting for helicopter man you cucks
>>70374710
There already is a shadow civil war in Brazil
don't you watch the news?
The pro wall street judiciary is taking out Rousseff and SIlva because they are scared Silva could get reelected soon.
meh we dont really have cable tv anyway. and a lot of different service providers. i dont think it will happen soon.
Some retarted politicians might try to push for something like that but i dont think they would succeed

I don't know how it works in UK, but here the communication companies and the Cable TV companies are the same, so, it's not interesting just let "tv" dies to them.
>>70374359
Data caps might exist in US, but it is institutionalized? Because here, barely all big companies will adopt this model until december, it is something quite frightening.
>>70371773
Yes, people from nonwhite nations have zero conception of ideas like private property and free markets, so naturally you get shit like this in all industries. It's why we don't want to take in any more immigrants, because they have never been introduced to any economic thought, so naturally they never vote conservative. You act like this is surprising, the public private distinction isn't something that is made in most nations.
>>70371773
>is a global trend and a "path of no return"
My ISP used to cap at 350GB but now they started to offer unlimited data packages. I've also seen some of the other major providers in the USA are starting to offer unlimited data for a price. While this may not happen there... you can at least have some hope that this "global trend" is finally starting to die.

>150GB
these niggers in the BR government (or any government for that matter) don't even understand what a gigabyte is or its relative size.
XCOM 2, one of the most recently released games has a file size of over 25 gigabytes.
It's software development kit? SIXTY (60) gigabytes.
150 gigs is absolutely NOTHING.
I will fucking LAUGH my ass off when hospitals and other critical emergency services SHUT DOWN because some fucking rube in the server room accidentally imposed the data limit on hospitals, police stations, and fire departments.
As a wise man in the server room once said:
> If you break it, i am NOT fixing it.
This is the biggest turn of even of the decade. Contries that have traditionally had datacaps (Australia, Nz) are sracping them while contires that have never had them are starting to adopt them. Such a time to be alive.
>>70375040
Most of us do have but the oligarchies in power don't want to implement these ideas because they would lose their dosh. And we can't make an uprise either because the capital is literally 2000km away from any urban center and we have been disarmed by said oligarchies. Most of the people want the good and old days of the military rule.
Is that hard to understand or not?
>>70375315
They understand completely they just don't care.
this is corporate rent seeking designed to insure maximum profits.
>>70375003
>Data caps might exist in US, but it is institutionalized?
It is, only in the US the corporations own the government.
It is already happening in the US. I had a $50 dollars extra charge last month. Apparently I went 50 GB over what I was allotted, and this is apparently a new policy. Thinking of changing ISPs.Just have to find one that isnt run by niggers.
>>70374760
This big motherfucker, he's behind one of the biggest communication companies here. It might be some sort of experiment: "first try it on 3th world countries, then refine the model and apply it in the developed ones."

in terms of trends our 60th placed internet sucks, so until that's rectified pa tv will still exist. like the brit said though, we don't have systemic entrenched corruption so something like your green text would never be accepted here.
>>70375040
Well, americans have such amazing understanding of all those things and still exploit us, you say that if immigrants understand all those things they would prefer to vote for conservatives, but you forgot that those conservatives are the people who don't flinch to enslave their countries in the first place... It's like: "This kind of thing can't happen in America because it's not fair, so let's help american companies to do this in 3th world".

you have to protest this. our apathetic population let telecoms form an oligopoly and charge us $80 minimum for 100gb cap with shit speeds. the least the companies could do is progressively upgrade the infrastructure to South Korea speeds since our taxes paid all their telephone and internet lines.
>>70376833
I didn't know you had data cap, it's such a fucked up concept, but I think Brazil just started to this now because in the past out internet connections aren't fast enough to consume large amounts of data, but now that everyone have at least 10MB they're seeing the opportunity to earn more money.
500GB is good, but you can easily reach that if not take care, here the default cap will be very bellow this, with 150GB it's not possible to keep the normal usage of youtube and netflix in house with 3.

In a free market big companies don't have the freedom to organize themselves in a larger cartel to force costumers to buy whatever they want to offer? I mean, they are not selling hotdogs, you can't contract a ISP in every street corner, it's a closed market.

Because of CVC costs (what it costs the ISP to rent their connection from the NBN Wholesale) 1gb/s would cost the end user around 18000aud a month for uncontested (no slowdowns/conguestion) and make the isp hardly any money considering the NBN charges its service out at 18aud per Megabit
What the fuck indeed its like the most expensive internet in the world or some shit.
Pretty sure they havent dropped the price since 2009 either.

The broadband internet market here is fucked up, usually only one or two companies cover a neighbourhood, while other companies cover others in a similar scheme so the consumers don't have choices.

>>70378790
>Pretty sure they havent dropped the price since 2009 either.
That's why rent seeking needs to be eliminated in every market, if it isn't they will never decrease prices regardless of technological progress.
>>70378270
It will be our future bro, it's very scary. It's funny to hear them telling those bullshits about the average data used by us, here they are trying to convince us that this cap will benefit 90% of the costumers, because it will work like an energy bill, that what we pay today is too much considering what we are using... Right, with 100GB cap I will have to be more concerned with the internet cap than the price i'm paying for a game in Steam: "Would I be able to play the game this month? Better wait to next month", it is so fucked up.
Data caps are NOT happening.
Because with all the HD shit my daily porn traffic alone is about 100GB.

Yep. Litterally 3 days ago I couldn't play a game because the download was 22GB, and I used up all my internet while I barely stream. Last of US game =47GB, which basically means you can't fucking play it unless you carefully plan your internet. My and my girlfriend live together with a 100GB/month download limit. Thats 3GB/day MAX for 2 people who like to stream, youtube & chill. Getting cucked and there is nothing we can do about it
>>70379204

There is literally no incentive to improve speed or access because they already have a monopoly
That's how rent seeking works

Never say never for the more tv is going dead the more aggressive shit they will pull, in America they already throttle all streaming most Americans don't even ducking realize and Netflix even made it so resolution scales with the throttle cap.

>Contries that have traditionally had datacaps (Australia, Nz) are sracping them
Because first world tech illiterates have finally realized that once the infrastructure is in place it doesn't cost 10$/GB to transmit data, so overage charges are BS. The mega corps are being call out on this by both gov and consumers. I have 'unlimited' bandwidth, but only because I have a grandfathered package dating for back to 1998, when Bell Can never realized that they would have to 100mb/s+ fiber lines to compete with cable, and didn't think assholes like me would rape their cust service people so badly. 3d world shitholes still have to build proper infrastructure, so I can see why the companies want to limit bandwidth and soak up every dollar for the time being
>>70379530

Pick one. All you need to be an internet provider is a satellite dish and a couple of servers.
>>70371773
It's true bro. When I got rid of cable tv I kept the Internet because it was the fastest. The cable company never said shit about how much data I used until I canceled their shitty commercial laden tv,now they meter my data. They haven't started charging me when I go over but i know the time is coming.

No. You need a tap into one of the major fiber trunk cables that span the world, this need to be leased from the owner. The only sat links are to distant polar regions (or jungle I guess) and they have a shit >0.75 latency.

>>70380264
>>70380250
Look, you need the dish and to rent the access to the Ka-Sat. Which isn't even that expensive on the industrial scale.
You put the dish on your roof, then connect your neighbours, depending on the infrastructure will either be radio repeaters or the optic cable. A few hubs, a few routers. You can connect a whole block under $5000.
Even cheaper if you connect commieblocks.
The best thing is you are not dependent on the local retards, you can even rent a Russian satellite access instead of Ka-Sat.
>>70380900

Dude just stop. Setting up the equivalent of a LAN based on a high latency sat connection is fucking retarded. The people would be better off buying long distance phone cards and dialing long distance to connect to AOL using a 56k modem. I assuming you could actually get enough bandwidth out of the ruskies for this, in Canada sat connections get routinely dropped for military and gov priority, I doubt russia is any different

You could literally kill your commie leaders and no one would stop you.
If those faggots are gonna start capping the internet, then they shouldn't bitch about illegal downloading. Living in canada and our internet was capped at 60gigs, thats right 60 fucking gigs, and anything above that would cost 5$/gig. Then they bitch about people not paying for downlaaded movies. Yeah damn right we aint paying for those movies when it costs us 15$ to download a 3gig movie from a torrent site. I sure as hell won't be paying 15$ for the movie on top of paying another 15$ to the ISP. Worst thing is that it doesn't cost them anything at all. Capping the internet is just pure profit and a scam.

Amazon, Google, Apple, MS etc all multibillion-dollar corporations. All of which are now larger than telecom companies (Comcast). It is in their best interests that bandwidth be plentiful and unrestricted.
This is the beauty of capitalism. Those with the most money win. In true capitalism, money is representative of the population. Socialism allows companies to embed themselves into government and lobby for bullshit the population doesn't want.
They (ISPs) have tried many times to restrict the internet, and it has been the other companies that thrive on open, cheap internet that stop it.
The irony is people blame corporate greed when in reality it was socialist government structure to allow such exploitation to exist in the first place.

They threaten to "cut off the connection" to scare people, which softens the blow when they just fine you for every GB that you go over. They're never going to stop selling you internet, that's retarded.
I already have a data cap. They also blamed streaming services.
Cap depends on the internet plan you have. I think mine is 350GB, then $10 for every 10 GB after that. It gets reset every month (no rollover). Shit sucks, but the ISP here knows they have the monopoly, so nothing else I can do. Google Fiber won't save us where I'm at.

Of course it is. I mean, how could that possibly even be relevant?
>>70391284

No, it's only NET, Vivo/GVT and Oi. NET already had data caps since forever in their contracts, but they rarely enforce it since most of their clients already have cable TV anyway. Oi also had data caps for some time now, but their structure is shit so they don't enforce it. The only reason this is news now is because the Israeli fuck at Vivo/GVT decided to implement them too, and with jews you lose.
Also, the Prosecutor's Office is already starting an investigation against data caps, since it goes against our consumer laws and the judiciary couldn't give less of a fuck about what Anatel thinks.
>>70392847
You skipped the "barely" part... but, except for Live TIM, there's any other alternative?

Netflix is killing cable because it's way cheaper though, like 6 bucks or something for Netflix as opposed to like 60 dollars for a bunch of channels you're not gonna watch anyways

If you live in Paraná there's COPEL, which offers optic fiber at the actual advertised speed and the price isn't that bad (50Mb download and upload speed is like R$ 140). There are also other smaller providers which would be eager to get a bigger slice of the market.
>>70377923
Same. We started with unlimited like 10 years ago. The infrastructure got bogged down, which resulted in caps being put in place. And now with improvements to infrastructure uncapped Internet is affordable again.

go to a third party provider...... I am about to switch to unlimited after running over my 400 GB quota. My 5 year old son leaves youtube running all the time it seems. possibly on multiple devices and we also have been streaming quite a bit of IPTV as well. Still I am amazed we used this much bandwidth last month. Paying like $65 for 60 down / 10 up going to go unlimited for $80 at same speed.
That would be fucking silly.
I download around 400GB a month on torrents alone and I guess a lot more on streams/youtube.
Data caps suck. I used to have one. Had to limit myself to 720p and if a game was over 20gb I had to go to the uni library to download it.
No data cap anymore thanks to based Suddenlink Fiber.

>>70398038
actually embratel explains how that can happen in brazil. nowadays everyone have a cap, but with some calculations you can use the cap of someone that pays the same as you but never uses it. so they make montly estimatives this way they can give you the impression that there is no limit. but with a higher demand of data that can change. in my oppinion the telephony companies are trying to create a new product, since they are getting fucked with the watsap totally replacing the normal telephone calls in brazil.
>>70374936
>we don't have cable
Except KabelDeutschland (now a Vodaphon company) KabelBW and the fact that 68% of SkyHD contracts run over cable wherever possible. Which means your post is high quality bullshit.
Please stop posting on here and focus on washing refugees feet
@OP : There are talks about a cap here and they mostly come from the big players in the biz but people are strongly against it in general because they know that net neutrality will be gone once they accept that flatrate contracts get altered to 150gb/month cap. Companies try to lure people with "Netflix will not be counted towards the cap" tho
>>70398732

In the states some ISPs are trying it.
I live in a town where comcast is the only option, and they've instituted a data cap. Wanna know what I did? I bought a second phone with a second plan, on t-mobile, and I can watch everything I want, 0 issue. also cancelled comcast cause fuck them.
100MB/sec & no data limit. feels good. And if Comcast fucks with it then I just switch to Fios.

>Brazilian communication cartel is about to adopt a general data cap policy, something around 150GB
What a shithole. Hungary tried to pull out something like this and their bureaucrats got stomped by the angry mob. The first time I was introduced to data caps was back in 2008 when I had a shitty DOCSIS 256Kbit connection from my cable company, it was like 20 GB/month. The last time it was in 2011 when I had a PLC 8Mbit plan. The company dropped the ball and started to throttle torrents because they were dumb enough to get more customers they could handle, but overall it wasn't that bad. 2013-now I'm 100Mbit no caps master race.
>>70371773
Nope, not as bad here
Microsoft wanted to sue our isps cause our low bandwith cap would make it impossible vor MS' video service to compete with them (2 of our isps also sell cable tv). so now we can download 500gb before they start throttling you

Because the government, aka your tax money, invested a lot in internet by laying fibre optics throughout the country when it was brand new. Our then state funded telephone and internet service was going through a privatisation process and like with all privatisations here, prices soared and mismanagement became rampant. All the other isps have to rent the network at a too high price.

I'm not sure I follow the logic
The government invests in public infrastructure explicitly so it can provide cheap access to the public. What's the point in wasting tax payer money on something just to price gouge consumers?

They also used this as propaganda to fool the people into thinking privatisation works, which frankly has been a disaster in europe.

In a truly free market data caps would also not survive because they aren't competitive with uncapped service.

Wireless WLAN networks are soon coming out, they'll cover areas from the sky casting 1000km^2 area coverage, and beaming off to other points using combo of irlaser and radiowaves, looking at 100gbps transfer rates
Their monopoly won't last, I can't see how people could live without unlimited bandwidth
>>70371773
You live in a shitty country that cares more about a soccer stadium than millions of people living in shanties stacked on each other.
Who cares. Comcast, a major US provider, has a 250GB cap per month. You can routinely violate it as they only persecute the top 1% of bandwidth users every month.
I only ever got a data warning once, when I torrented about 4TB worth of data on a sexy new 105mbps connection.

They hide their wealth for tax purposes,
Some providers tried introducing data caps, but everybody cancelled their contracts and went to other providers. There's still some throttling at peak hours, but that's "only" due to infrastructure.

Data Cap for internet service is a joke...

>>70409741
The current infrastructure simply doesn't support unlimited bandwidth for everybody. So instead of spending billions on improving that, they are adding throttles and data caps.

No they don't. Take free market theory and apply

be supplied by those who want to profit from the
demand. Problems solved.

Wlan is basically what I'm talking about on a smaller scale.
Also it doesn't have to be radio. There are other ways
of achieving independent short and long distance
digital communications.

It's also illegal in Germany for ISP's to arrange adopting an Internet Data Cap all at once (like Comcast and AT&T did in America) under the Kartellgesetz and the Preisabsprachengesetz.
The moment one ISP introduces a Cap it's customers will just flock over to another ISP.
It also makes 0 sense to mer personally, because ISPs pay close to nothing for the data they transmit. It's just another plan to fuck over the people.
>>70378288
Only in Countries that don't have laws against it. Germany for example has the Cartellaw
>>70371773
AHAHAHAHAHH, WHAT THE HELL.

>>70371773
The idea of capping a wired connection doesn't even exist here. 4G connections often have data caps of like 40 GB and then you get reduced speeds for the rest of the month because the provider doesn't feel like expanding with more base stations.
Oh and I have an unmetered gigabit connection but I rarely go over 500GB each month anyway despite watching 4k content.
>>70378770

That's not how power dynamics work multiple people have multiple interests in the third world. The only solution will arise when the third world can substain itself entirely and creates a new economic/political model that works for them on a local level and then they tell the rest of the world to fuck off.
