Why network carriers are not happy with OTT?
OTT is causing harm to the network service providers as it is removing the traditional mode of entertainment, or traditional concepts of programming have radically changed because of users’ interest towards watching a program or engaging with content via internet. Basically it allows communicators to save a lot of money on both local and international calls, and on text messages.
In general the caller does not pay for the dedicated phone line as is the case with traditional telephony. Besides, this is what makes VoIP as a free alternative to expensive phone calls which is a much cheaper.
