This is actually an interesting point - Shaw's VOIP service similarly doesn't count towards cap. As mentioned in the update to the ArsTechnica article, the movie service not counting is apparently because it is delivered via different infrastructure -
"Shaw's existing video-on-demand QAM cable infrastructure. When users access Movie Club through a computer, they will access an IP-based version of it delivered over the Internet—and this will affect monthly data caps."
but surely the VOIP phone data is delievered over the internet...
- afiler 15y agoThe VOIP data is probably not delivered over the internet for local calls. The calls probably come out of the cable network and hit a softswitch in the same city. For local calls, they probably have a TDM interface (T1s/DS3s etc) to the incumbent carrier and possibly other CLECs too.
