They are claiming now, that this was only done "to track the growth of Whatsapp over the course of nine months". They're very interested in charging extra for VOIP and Whatsapp-type services.
EDIT: See (dutch) statement at: http://www.kpn.com/corporate/overkpn/Perscentrum/nieuwsbericht/Statement-KPN-over-analyse-dataverkeer-1.htm http://www.kpn.com/corporate/overkpn/Perscentrum/nieuwsberic...
They used DPI to analyze Whatsapp usage and are checking if all the rules were applied regarding data used for the analysis.
- Confusion 15y ago> charging extra I doubt they will, as customers would simply leave for one of the competitors. They will loose much more than they'll gain. Continuing to try and cash in on SMS traffic is like continuing to try and sell music the old way: we've entered a new era and that business model just won't work.
- joelhaasnoot 15y agoI agree, I'm not at all sure how they plan on doing that. VoIP I can understand, and most contracts/plans also ban "SMSoIP", but Whatsapp is something different. For the longest time I had a phone with rockbottom SMS rates sitting at home that I used a webinterface for to send messages cheaply.
