In last Sunday's SBP, I wrote that Vodafone was in discussions with Irma to possibly introduce a 'graduated response' (or 3 Strikes) system.
A further report in today's Irish Times indicates that this will now happen.
"EMI Ireland chief executive Willie Kavanagh said “significant progress” had been made with Vodafone in relation to implementing a solution similar to that which Eircom is using to deter file-sharers," writes Ronan McGreevy in the Times article.
As I pointed out in Sunday's piece, this is is likely to herald a new wave of 3 Strikes ISP agreements.
For instance, Digiweb's chief executive, Colm Piercy, told me that defending a costly High Court action against ‘‘the might of the music industry’’ is just not a realistic option. And the same goes for every other small to medium sized ISP in the country.
Yes, UPC will fight this court case. And both 3 Ireland and O2 probably will, too.
But it may well just be a matter of time before a huge swathe of Ireland's internet customers become governed under the 3 Strikes system.
Vodafone Ireland confirms that it is in discussions with IRMA although it is premature to speculate on the outcome or timeline for these discussions
