Why would an ISP want to deploy 3rd party software on Mac OS X / 10
instead of just letting their customers use the native PPPoE
Brand Management
When ever 3rd party applications are launched the customer is “forced”
to see the ISPs branding on the connect screen of, MacPoET,
for example
With, MacPoET,
for example by default upon install you can force the browser to launch
after connect and force the user to go to your web site again reinforcing
brand management
Reduce Support Costs
Since OS X is the only Mac OS to have native PPPoE a client needs to
be rolled out anyway, so why trouble shoot two clients instead of just
one? If the provider supports 1 application and Mac OS X native the
provider must train it’s call center to support both, if the Provider
only supports 1 application training costs are less, as well as training
time, as well as support time since only one “client” needs
to be supported.
