Here are some snippets - they think net neutrality doesn't kill their usefulness here.
How Procera can help with Network Management: Procera offers multiple solutions that can help an operator manage their network without running foul of the FCC ruling. Our Fair Usage solutions enable operators to ensure that subscribers have fair access to bandwidth, even during times of congestion. Procera’s sophisticated congestion management technology can scale to millions of conne ctions and delivers maximum efficiency for the available bandwidth. This enables a broadband operator to delay CAPEX while still delivering a high Quality of Experience to their subscribers. How Procera can help with Differentiated Services & Usage Allowa nces: This clause is the single biggest opportunity for broadband operators to differentiate their service offerings under Network Neutrality. We have fixed and mobile operators around the world that are using our technology to offer tiered services and manage usage allowances for their subscribers. Some examples of these services include offering unlimited plans that will be managed during times of congestion more aggressively than capped plans, plans that offer specific allowances for video traffic, location-specific offering (Fixed Mobile substitution replacing DSL with LTE at home), or low cost plans that only allow specific traffic types (pre-paid Facebook plans, limited bandwidth for video or file sharing, etc.). Procera’s unique ability to combine subscriber, location, plan, content, and application awareness with Policy Enforcement enables us to integrate with policy solutions to offer differentiated services. "Zero Rating: The ruling explicitly states that there are benefits to consumers for zero rating some traffic, with particular reference to the use in mobile services. The FCC does state that they will keep an eye on this practice, but that it is not considered paid prioritization under this ruling. How Procera can help with Zero Rating: Zero-Rating traffic can be very simple or very hard, depending on what your service offering is designed to offer. Many zero rating solutions are implemented using access control lists in routers or gateways – and these lists must scale to include every possible destination/source for every application or CDN that will send traffic as part of the service offering. Procera’s ability to recognize specific or groupings of applications or content dramatically simplify the process to zero-rate traffic. Rather than long ACLs, the operator can simply configure zero-rating for all streaming music or all social networking traffic, exploding the opportunities for niche service offerings targeted at specific service offerings or even targeting specific devices. T-Mobile’s Music Freedom service – which zero rates streaming audio services is a perfect example of a service offering that is called out in the FCC ruling as a benefit to consumers that is completely legal within the Network Neutrality framework" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 10:37:04 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Procera sold for $240M Sometimes I forget that the world does not end at our shores. -----Original Message----- From: WaveDirect Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 8:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Procera sold for $240M Correct. EU and Asia are big markets for them. Was talking to one of the support guys the other day was in Japan traveling but is from Sweden I believe. I'm not entirely sure how they are spinning things. But from what I read from them about the US net neutrality laws they found a way around it. I think that if you transparently tell people specifically what you do and when you can get around the rules. I need to re-read it as I only blasted through their doc on the subject. I think the goal is to make sure no traffic is favored over another in the same class. They came up with their own legal interpretation of it. Maybe Simon can chime in on exactly what they meant. It really needed a TLDR.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 10:26:18 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Procera sold for $240M +1 From: Cameron Crum Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 8:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Procera sold for $240M Maybe the US is not their primary market?
