Even Japan, about BT downloads and broadband users by the flow of charges of ups and downs, intensified, striking one snag after another topic.

First, there are news that CTT, respectively, began to limit the length and width of the BT download, but also that there are specific data, such as the ADSL user 180KB/S to 2Mbps bandwidth, for example, has been reduced by more than 20-50KB/S".

However, just after the news came out, and the relevant person in charge of the long width suddenly came out to deny the BT download restrictions.

"We can not fight against the majority of Internet users." China railway spokesman Guo Xiaozhao told the "Financial Times" said, he said, attaches great importance to Chinese Tietong broadband Internet service, has been committed to safeguarding the interests of users of broadband, the past is not restricted BT download, now there is no future, will not limit BT download speed, but will not ban BT download, CTT broadband policy, and recently without any change in the past.

At the same time, Fuzhou Changkuan general manager Tan Lifeng also points out that the limitation of BT download, he further said, "BT download is a good stuff, we will not limit will not be blocked."

It is reported that BT is the abbreviation of BitTorrent. Its essence is a multi point source code download network download software, a programmer from the United States, California, specifically designed to download large capacity files. Outstanding characteristic is to change the previous network download from the server to the user of the single route model, but the data is divided into many small pieces, so as to form a real network download structure, the more people download, the faster the popular favorite users.

However, with the length and width of CTT denies that did not stop, and reported that the blue wave broadband has started blocking BT, and is one of the most severe operator control, non BT users to download, and Rambo in the technology of this special monitoring, once found illegal users will be sealed off the IP ".

BT download and accompanies is broadband operators will change the charging mode according to traffic charges, as a result, who use BT to download, who pays for the extra traffic charges, change before the charging time, if the future is according to the monthly billing traffic accounting replaced, you need to pay the price of the BT download. It is due to the flow of billing and limit BT download associated with it, making the topic of BT download ups and downs.

After the news leaked, Chinese Tietong Shanghai branch as early as a year ago has launched the "traffic accounting method as the company one of the broadband Internet access Tariff Scheme, but as of now basically no users bid for the tariff plan. It is reported that the railway last year officially announced on the segment of the ADSL monthly fee ", according to the size of the flow is divided into luxury, standard and general three, namely the user monthly Internet access restrictions on traffic, the excess charges will be doubled.

This has become one of the measures to limit the download of BT, making BT download and press the flow of the topic of renewed waves.

Where is the pain?

Regardless of whether or not to restrict the BT download and traffic billing, in essence, what is the problem? Why users and operators will be highly concerned about it?

Analysts said, this is actually the netizens stand mutually struggling in their respective interests and perspective of telecom operators. Internet users consider the cost and speed of the Internet, and telecom operators are based on the current bandwidth resources and new business issues.

"This shows that the telecom operators lack of bandwidth resources." Some analysts pointed out that, whether it is the needs of Internet users to download BT, or telecom broadband operators to launch new business, involving a bandwidth problem. The upgrade network can not be completed in a short time, and the need to spend a lot of money, which allows operators to focus on the existing bandwidth resources on the mining.

So BT becomes the focus. In the broadband operators, BT will take up too much network resources, which may be in the access network, transmission network, backbone network and other different levels to form a bottleneck, resulting in resource constraints, a bandwidth killer".

"BT will allow the operator's network equipment to work at full capacity for a long time, and will affect the speed of other Internet users." Li Hui said.

Tan Lifeng has said for example, the bandwidth of 10M, a BT user can eat most.

At the same time, industry analysts said that the use of BT is also a threat to the operators IPTV.

Li Hui introduced the threat is mainly two aspects: one is the BT occupies a large bandwidth, the cyber source and IPTV may have a competitive relationship; on the other hand, the BT object is most of the download movies and other video content, it has some competition with IPTV services.

Therefore, in many ways, BT operators have become a heart of the culprit".

Where is the road?

However, users are on BT with great enthusiasm, firmly opposed to limit BT. in a portal survey of 22334 Internet users, 20826 of them against BT, accounting for 93.25% of the total number; at the same time, the operators agree according to survey traffic accounting, shown in table 63805 against 71295 people, accounting for 89.49%.

"Which restrictions do not have to go home!" This consideration for operators can be said to be the heart of many Internet users. And other operators will take the same competitive strategy, but also makes the individual operators do not
