Subjunctive posted:traffic interception has a small window of viability, because ad networks are all trending to SSL (often via SPDY) and then welp My company is currently developing an SSL interception proxy specifically to deal with this problem. Carriers want to optimize video and images and everybody is starting to encrypt stuff so we terminate the SSL, do optimization and then reencrypt with our own certificate. I dunno if any carrier actually wants to buy it yet

This is why you all should be doing certificate pinning in your cat video webapps btw

qirex posted:I assume the endgame of this is to get a 50 meg cat video, compress it to 8 megs then still charge the customer for 50 megs Surprisingly, I think most of our current video optimization customers don't rip people off like that. Most of their savings come from them being able to skimp on building new towers and upgrading infrastructure for a couple years.

Janitor Prime posted:Don't the YouTube and Facebook players and browsers already do this? Not sure. Our prototype has only been tested on internal servers so far. Youtube is next. Someone did mention a plan to try to partner up with content providers and see if they'd be willing to provide a certificate we could use. I don't know if that's likely.

Yeah, I don't know who thought that was possible. We've been doing video optimization for 5+ years and I don't think any content provider has ever agreed to work with us on anything.

I'm not actually sure which category I'm in. Plain video optimization makes a lot of money and could be argued to be good for users. The SSL stuff is kind of scary but also kind of fun and also might be hopeless from a business standpoint.

Not sure if anyone on here is among the 20 people in the world that still watch The Newsroom, but they've had a pretty good storyline for the last couple episodes about a disruptive billionaire taking over the network and forcing them to talk about Twitter all the time.
