The CRTC Getting An Earful – Growing support for network neutrality, privacy…

In: Communication|Computer|Hardware|Site Feeds|Software|VoIP

Canadian regulators haven’t been particularly sympathetic to the plight of smaller ISPs or the issue of network neutrality — in part because, much like in the States, the regulatory agency is stocked with incumbent executives and lobbyists being endlessly lobbied by incumbent executives and lobbyists. However, Canadian Law Professor Michael Geist points to several pro-consumer developments in Canada this week, including a submission (zipped pdfs) by the Government of British Columbia in favor of network neutrality, calling it “the bedrock upon which the Internet rests.” The week also saw the Privacy Commissioner of Canada showing significant concern over the use of deep packet inspection (discussed at length in our forums). Since Bell Canada’s throttling of independent ISPs (without telling them) last March, Canada’s become a hotbed of network neutrality debate. That’s impressive, considering that this time last year — the idea was largely foreign to the Canadian public.
