Canadian ISP Ordered to Prove Traffic-Shaping is Needed

Posted by timothy on from the offer-good-only-in-canada dept.

Sepiraph writes "In a letter sent to the Canadian Association of Internet Providers and Bell Canada on May 15, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) have ordered Bell Canada to provide tangible evidence that its broadband networks are congested to justify the company's Internet traffic-shaping policies. This is a response after Bell planned to tackle the issue of traffic shaping, also called throttling, on the company's broadband networks. It would be interesting to see Bell's response, as well as to see some real-world actual numbers and compare them to a previous study."

    And not only that, but the federal government is making me prove my tax statement when I say, "I don't owe you any money." What is this world coming to?
