1- any institution dealing with or tied into government, CRTC included, favors big business over mom and pop operations and PPL
2- CRTC accepting lobbyists is automatically in favor of large telcos, like it or not
3- their master plan of controlling and locking down OUR Internet is working nicely due to not enough PPL standing up to them and forcing them to change
4- regulators are there to insure their own to prosper, “screw the PPL … they’re slaves anyway”

Now that we know this, there’s only one way to correct this legally. Canadians must stand up to them fully or loose what’s left. I’m going to say it again till you cows and sheep get it through your thick skulls:
1- Charge CRTC and Bell for all losses; time lost, work lost, lost bandwidth at unlimited circumstance, hydro, opportunities, hardware depreciation etc.
2- if they don’t pay give ‘em Notice of Understanding and Intent with Remedy included
3- protest fully and Canada wide till you shut down Bell and or CRTC or they buckle under the strain.
4- demand full fiber speed at $15 per month as promised in 90’s
5- don’t let up till you get what you want
You have one year

Unless you do this in full they [CRTC, Bell, Rogers, Telcos and government] will walk all over you by delays, spin, lies and you will loose what’s left of internet

Enjoy

“The Commission will also engage an external consulting firm to prepare a study on the technologies available to ISPs for the purpose of Internet traffic management. The study will be placed on the public record of this proceeding as soon as it is available and will be available for consultation on the Commission’s website at http://www.crtc.gc.ca under “Public Proceedings.” It will reflect the views of the consultants and not those of the Commission and will determine neither the agenda nor the outcome of this proceeding.”

I wonder why they’d bother limiting the scope of the consulting firm so much. As well, there’s absolutely no qualification criteria given for the chosen consulting firm…

Now CRTC launches a “new media consulation”, but from the reading of the description, only submissions from “important persons” are accepted (read corporations).

From the “new media consultation” description and mention of “Canadian content”, it is clear that this is about the best way to perform corporate censorship on the new media. After all, they do it on old media.

CRTC is about corporate control, protecting monopolies and forcing censorship. CRTC must be abolished, together with this American conservative government of Harper.

Back in the early 80s it stood for the video chip in the 8-bit BBC Micro computer – Cathode Ray Tube Controller. The view through the rose tinted glasses is good, people! lol

Rip them a new one JF!

Good work.
