Spanish telecoms operator Telefonica is planning to charge Internet Companies operating in Span like Google and Yahoo for network usage.
Speaking at a press conference in the northern city of Bilbao, President Cesar Alierta said companies like Google use a lot of network bandwidth for free, something which was lucky for them but not for Telefonica.As a network provider has to provide huge amount of bandwidth for its customer to access Internet through his Mobile (or PDA), the costs are not only economical but also infrastructural.
Alierta also said that his company, which operates in Spain and across Latin America, provides the network, product sale, customer care, installation and maintenance to search engine companies that profit from using them.
He says things had to change. Telefonica spokesman Miguel Angel Garzon said that the ideas expressed by Alierta were not new and had been talked about by many network service providers around the world.
