Anche Vodafone DE adotta la strategia del depeering, sulla scia di Deutsche Telekom:
By the end of 2025, Vodafone will have completely withdrawn from every public internet exchange in Germany, including DE-CIX Frankfurt, the largest internet exchange on the planet. Instead, all traffic will flow through a single company called Inter.link, which possibly will charge content providers based on how much data they send to Vodafone customers. It might be the telecom equivalent of a landlord announcing they're demolishing all the sidewalks in town and replacing them with a private toll road.
[...]
Think about that: you pay Vodafone for internet access. YouTube pays Inter.link for the privilege of serving you. Both ends pay, but the service you receive gets worse because the architecture degrades and bottlenecks concentrate through fewer connection points. Vodafone saves money on operational overhead while extracting new revenue from content providers. You, the customer, subsidize this twice and get a degraded product.
[...]
You'll have a two-tiered internet: fast lanes for services that pay, slow lanes for everything else. [...] When you pay Vodafone for internet service, you think you're buying neutral access to the global internet. You're not. You're buying access to Vodafone's network, and Vodafone controls how well that network connects to everything else.
