Bell Canada's Misinformation About Throttling

Posted by kdawson on from the competition-in-a-natural-monopoly dept.

rsax writes "Bell Canada's chief of regulatory affairs Mirko Bibic has been attempting to justify the throttling of the last-mile connection to independent ISPs. As is typical, Bell Canada is abusing people's confusion between issues around Network Neutrality and the last mile natural monopoly. If people continue to confuse these two related but separate issues, Bell Canada and other incumbent phone and cable companies will win this critical debate."

    That's just blatantly untrue. Unless you are also including people who don't have access to computers and the internet.

    I need an analogy to understand what's happening. :-) Not having an analogy is like not having an example.
