Hi folks.
My first real post on the forum, but there's an issue I'd like to get opinions on. I'm not sure how much (if at all) Canadian news permeate beyond our own borders. Recently, the CRTC (among other things, internet regulatory commission) has passed legislation allowing ISPs to use packet shaping / throttling.
They've added some basic stipulations - the ISPs must inform their subscribers how and when they're controlling traffic, but the rest is at their discretion.
The spokesman for the CRTC declared proudly that this is the first comprehensive system of its kind to allow better management of internet data.
Are the minor controls put in place enough? Is this an indication of the way the net's headed?
