Separation of networks and services

The separation between the underlying network technology and the services removes entry barriers for the service providers. The only precondition for service provision is access to the network. This has created a huge dynamic in the service development within the Interne, but it also creates a problem of revenue sharing between the owners of the network infrastructures and the service/content provider. This is more obvious in the broadband IP infrastructures, which are mainly provided by the telecom operators. The development in value proposition is obviously mainly connected in service provision, particularly because flat rate billing for connectivity has become the dominant business model.
