Most of CAIP's questions could almost have check marks next to them. Done! I feel (and I hope I'm right) that the CRTC is leaning the right way on this one. The best-scenario decision would be absolutely and immediately taking this power out of the hands of carriers, forcing them to implement infrastructure upgrades to live up to their advertised offerings, set down clear rules for both ISP's and carriers, and making a strong submission of their own to the privacy commissioner. She's wonderful, and may turn out to be one of the key players in this whole brouhaha. Even if this happens, though, the next big hurdle is the conservative government, to put teeth in the decision through comprehensive regulation. We already know their stance on the issue. They like things the way they are, it's consumer vs carrier, nothing to do with government. I expect the corporate lobbyists are already at work on Bernier on this one to plan a way mitigate or nullify the effects of a CRTC decision unfavourable to them. Maybe the conservatives will just dissolve the CRTC. This paragraph caught my attention: "4) Discuss whether any CAIP’s member ISPs that use Bell Canada ’s GAS to provide high-speed retail Internet services in Ontario and/or Quebec shape their end-cus tom ers’ traffic and if so, how and why. If any CAIP member ISPs do traffic shaping, specify how many of them do it." We've been cheering CAIP on as knights in shining armour, without thinking too much about how they themselves might be the next satisfied purchaser of a shiny new Procera Networks PacketLogic PL10000: http://www.proceranetworks.com/products/pl10000.html Behold, the enemy.
