They need alternatives to” We Have to have DPI or we will go Broke”.
i.e.: “By increasing our bandwidth and NOT prioritising it for the customers that pay us the most – we will loose our good customers”.

I am suggesting that argument woulld be self-regulation brought about by an educational campaign.
This has legs as it would be smiled upon from on high.

Additional add spend, something positive they can be seen to be doing, and;

Not having to make an unpopular ruling.

Michael Geist states that today will be the day the CTRC should recognise their previous mistakes.
Having read what is available of the transcripts, I conclude that there might be a glimmer of understanding by the commissioners, but whether that translates to a reversal of a previous decision remains to be seen.

That situation is pretty ubiquitous globally unfortunately.
The premise that Politicians arnt worth our attention, is deeply ingrained in the X-ers and Y’s.

I wonder what would happen if a Poli came out in favour of P2P as a Technology for relieving the congestion on the networks. (Based on mandatory peering between all IAP’s and servers (seeders/ed2k) at each ISP switch.)

If it would ever happen, I think that poli’s numbers would start to appreciate rather rapidly. But Politicians outside of Germany , Sweden and France havent yet seen the benefit of aligning themselves with a whole generation of entertainment consumers.

They will.

That’s, of course, if you ignore the countless times “upgrading the network” has been mentioned.

(Funny, that one’s even in the Bell/CRTC deregulation agreement when the infrastructure was released to Bell.)
