CRTC is Corrupted.
So the corrupt CRTC says Bell can throttle Wholesale competitors on their DSL lines.
Time to get rid of the CRTC and get in an independent un-corrupt Board.
Anyone on Bell DSL should sign up with the DSL competition immediately.
And anyone not on Bell DSL should email the CRTC with a full complaint of unfair competition in this fecking country and all the Internet and U.S. Television censorship that goes on, Via the rich assholes in charge of Canadian Television.

Something simple like "The people of the CRTC should all resign immediately. Signed, the Canadian people".

"Based on the evidence before us, we found that the measures employed by Bell Canada to manage its network were not discriminatory -- Bell Canada applied the same traffic-shaping practices to wholesale customers as it did to its own retail customers," said Konrad von Finckenstein, Q.C., Chairman of the CRTC.
Finckenstein appears to not understand either the definition of discriminatory, or how throttling wholesale ISPs (not just resellers) kills off Bell competition on multiple fronts. Bell's decision effectively eliminated the right of independent wholesale ISPs to offer an un-crippled connection if they're willing to pay for the bandwidth. It also gives Bell Canada's un-throttled video store an unfair advantage over Canada's more limited field of competing P2P Internet video services.
In other words, after delaying a request by concerned independent ISPs several times, they're ruling in favor of Bell Canada, and effectively offloading any additional discussion of the issue until summer. They're also supporting Bell Canada's argument that congestion made this move necessary, despite no real evidence by the Canadian incumbent. The move gives incumbent operators in Canada a blank check in their efforts to derail competition and limit consumer choice under the false specter of network congestion.
Lets end this Nazi Hitler style of corrupt control over the people of Canada.
We want our 'Freedom of Communication'.... Not Fascism.....
Canada continues to turn more inward under the false veil of 'Multiculturalism' and 'Heritage protection'... We need to access other countries 'full media', to see how things are in other countries....
'The Great Firewall of Canada' may show up next year after the CRTC decides whether to 'fully admit' that they regulate Canada's Internet.
