Bell Wants to Dump Third-Party ISP's Entirely

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the taking-their-cable-and-going-home dept.

phorm writes "Not only is Bell interfering with third-party traffic, but — according to CBC — they want third-party ISP and phone carriers off their network entirely. Bell is lobbying to have lease-conditions on their networks removed, stating that enough competition exists that they should not longer be required to lease infrastructure to third-parties. Perhaps throttling is just the beginning?"

    Let me break it down for you: The response to "generalization, examples" was "opposite generalization, example", but Mr. Doesn't-understand-his-own-language couldn't make that link because his reading comprehension only covers 2 lines of text.

  2. Carving it up before the next administration by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    They, like many other large corrupt businesses, want to grab as much wealth as they can before the next administration enters office. If a Democrat controls the system, these kinds of outfits will have lost their free ticket to loot the US economy. The next few months are going to be a feeding frenzy of corporate greed.

    The Bear Stearns bailout is just one example. Does anyone realize that Jamie Dimon, the head of JP Morgan is on the board of directors of the NY Federal Reserve? http://www.ny.frb.org/aboutthefed/org_nydirectors.html

    Yes, one of the people who oversees the Fed was responsible for approving the buy-out/bail-out of Bear Sterns by JP Morgan. He approved taxpayer funds to support a takeover by the company where he was CEO. They don't even bother to pretend to be honest any more.
