BT teams up with Virgin Media to boost Online Video
The leading broadband internet service providers operating in the United Kingdom, Virgin Media and BT are understood to be working as a team on a fresh project, which is all about enhancing the online video service quality.
The new scheme that involves the two leading cable broadband providers in the United Kingdom, is all about one where videos would be availed on a network, instead of being on the internet. This move mulled by the two broadband giants is with a view to reduce congestion that may affect the delivery of other services.
According to fresh reports published in the leading newspaper the Guardian, the prominent fixed-line broadband provider in the United Kingdom, B T was teaming with Virgin Media and Orange besides broadcasters on the network of Content Connect.
It is expected that the new scheme would urge the broadband providers in the country to enjoy a decent return on web-based devices by investing in their networks. It is also believed that unless the investment was carried out it is hardly a possibility for the ISPs to benefit from this.
BT Wholesale’s director for broadband, Sian Baldwin revealed to the newspaper that they could not say that all the broadband providers got into a stand-off, where they threatened to disconnect the traffic access to YouTube or Apple, even though his predictions there was a situation that would force them to.
