Nokia ready to deploy VoIP & file transfer blocking services

Link: Nokia Launches VoIP Blocker

Nokia is launching a platform which defies the so-called Net-Neutrality by enabling operators to block specific types of data services, namely peer to peer file sharing and VoIP calls. The centralized solution is implemented as a software upgrade to the Nokia Flexi Intelligent Service Node (ISN) and will be commercially available during the first half of 2007.

If you’re a mobile operator without a clue about where the market is going, but a good amount of subscribers and a huge profit margin to maintain, this is the technology you need.

As Alex, who came across the story, comments:

This just ain’t cricket.. I mean what do operators want, to have their cake and eat it?
