CRTC Rules Bell Can Squeeze Downloads

Posted by samzenpus on from the throttle-away dept.

pparsons writes "Bell Canada Inc. will not have to suspend its practice of 'shaping' traffic on the Internet after a group of companies that resell access to Bell's network complained their customers were also being negatively affected. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission today released a decision that denied the Canadian Association of Internet Providers' request that Bell be ordered to cease its application of the practice to its wholesale customers."

    If you want to shape your traffic, fine, but that's an inferior service and should be priced differently than a wide open service. If the CRTC wants to be fair about it, they ought to make sure it is fair for all parties.
