I know it is total nonsense !! But that's what Orange managed to do in secret with Google in France... and it seems the tendency is that such kind of agreement will spread in Europe in the near future. Note that in order to show to Google that it is not correct, other providers had installed YouTube ad-blocks
Totally agree, this is not France. YouTube bandwith usage in Kenya must be very low compare to YouTube bandwidth usage in France. Note also that French Govt forbid DailyMotion to be bought by Yahoo and it is still property of Orange
As for French tendency of turning thing ridiculous notions into norms, do you also include the end of monarchy, the Declaration of Human Rights and the abolition of slavery as ridiculous notions, Just don't generalise :) This Orange had been made possible because technocrats in Brussels said nothing about it... In fact, in you dig a bit, you will find out that Neelie Kroes, EU Commissioner for Digital Agenda, is the one supporting this idea of bandwidth management and pushing ISP to provide different bandwidth to different people according to their needs and budget.

This is such monumental crap that Google should throw a party to laugh at them. For starters they are nowhere near being the dominant internet provider and as far as I can tell this is not France. The French have a tendency of turning ridiculous notions into acceptable norms. you only have to look at west african francophone nations and their arrangements with the French central bank to understand this.
But then knowing how much our government likes to bend over backwards for them I would not be surprised if the regulator passes a regulation requiring it.

So do the telcos want everyone offering content to pay them/share revenue?
It's a crap argument AFAICS, because we pay the telcos to access the content. If the telcos were allowing us access to Google's content for free, then they would be justified in their revenue share argument. That's my shortsighted opinion.
