Abstract

A method of managing a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network having a first user and a second user, the method comprising the step of: ascertaining a competitive characteristic associated with the first user and a competitive characteristic associated with the second user; comparing the ascertained competitive characteristics; identifying whether there is a disparity between the competitive characteristics that exceeds a threshold, thereby to identify a competitive advantage associated with the first or second user; and if it is identified that the disparity exceeds the threshold, adapting a network configuration of a network connection associated with the first user so as to offset the competitive advantage associated with the first or second user.

A method of managing a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network having a first user and a second user, the method comprising:

ascertaining a competitive characteristic associated with the first user and a competitive characteristic associated with the second user, wherein each competitive characteristic comprises an indication of a level of skill of the associated user;
comparing the ascertained levels of skill for the first and second users;
identifying whether there is a disparity between the levels of skill that exceeds a threshold, thereby to identify a competitive advantage associated with the first or second user;
and
in response to identifying that the disparity between the levels of skill exceeds the threshold, adapting a network configuration of a network connection associated with the first user so as to increase a difference in network performance between the first user and the second user thereby to help offset the competitive advantage due to said disparity.
