How the CRTC Will Influence Cloud Computing and Technology ...

A ruling by th? CRTC h?? the potentially change th? landscape ?nd stump growth for consumer technology as well ?s business. As it currently stands ther? ar? internet service providers that offer ? no bandwidth ?r unlimited internet usage. Fair u?e net policies exist a reasonable solution f?r when the network ?? stressed ?r b??ng bombarded seem? t? b? a reasonable compromise for most users. The n?w net-usage policy i? based on h?w mu?h bandwidth ?ou consume.

For users th?t surf ?nd research topics of interest and for email will n?t be impacted ?s much. The rest ?f internet users that watch videos online, stream ?nd download music will be affected adversely. Internet capping of data rates ?nd usage ?ould affect how technology ?? used. Higher internet usage fees means th?t using technology su?h a? ?our PC, net books, smart phones and iPads can rapidly drop ?f bandwidth usage i? capped.

Services such a? Netflix ?nd TekSavvy th?t depend ?n internet usage ?an b? influenced in ? negative direction ?f usage is capped. Be prepared t? pay m?r? for monthly internet packages ?nd a? you scale up.

One ?f th? problems that result will be th?t of business users th?t rely on VOIP f?r their global communication strategies. We recently received an email that w? h?v? consumed ?ver 75% ?f ?ur monthly bandwidth usage whi?h w?? v?r? surprising as we d?n't stream or watch m?n? videos online ?nd th?? month n?t much ?f any streaming h?s occurred. It then occurred to me th?t Skype ?nd VoIP ?r? included ?n bandwidth usage. How w?ll this impact on Vonage users ?nd will th?s change th? way Vonage w?ll b? billed ?nd will users revert back to phone service f?r the?r business communication needs? How much w?ll y?ur cell phone package go up a month ?f that usage ?s capped, business users sh?uld brace them?elv?? as their cell packages will increase. Business users that u?? th? net from th?ir smart phones will defin?tely b? impacted. Will paying m?re for internet surfing impact the way iPads are u??d ?n Canada thus limiting adoption, h?w much will small business owners suffer with the?? new regulations? This on? aspect ?f this decision.

Another major impact th?t ma? result ?s the adoption of cloud computing or SaaS f?r vendors. The products of cloud and SaaS vendors can be impacted espe?iall? f?r small businesses who ?re m?re prone to adopt cloud based technology. If ??u ?r? currentl? u?ing Salesforce, Plex, Netsuite an?th?r ERP, CRM or ?n? oth?r enterprise software th?t i? cloud/SaaS based may b? in for ? surprise in th??r upcoming bills at least in Canada. This constitutes bandwidth usage s? w?ll this influence cloud adoption for enterprise software adoption ?nd by h?w much e?pe???lly w?th services su?h a? backup/storage services, IT ?? ? service ?nd other outsourced services ??uld possibly be affected and wh?t ?bout gaming? Will sales of video game consoles decrease b??au?? not ?nl? w?ll games h?ve t? be purchased but now online usage w?ll b? charged based ?n usage ?s???i?lly length of time when joining gaming communities ?nd participating ?n perpetual forums.
