Bell

The Bandwidth Battle, continued....

By Ray on May 19, 2008 - 7:52am

A headline in The Globe titled 'CRTC orders Bell to prove Net 'shaping' needed' also says that the big ISPs have been asked to detail how that 'shaping' or restricting of large downloads effects all of their traffic, such as streaming of audio or video. The battle goes on, and you can get more details in the article.

Rogers Communication and Bell Want You To Think They Own The Net

Frederic says, "For your information, your ISP does not own the Internet. No one owns the Internet, and no single person or organization controls it. There are, however, organizations that oversee and standardize what’s going on the Internet and assign Internet Protocol addresses and domain names. The Internet Engineering Task Force, ICANN, InterNIC and the Internet Architecture Board are among these organizations.[...]ISP companies like Bell and Rogers charge a fee for the use of their servers that have access to the Internet, that’s all. They do not own the Internet. It’s certainly not Rogers Communication or Bell that have a right to charge fees to download content on the Internet."[ezvancouver - Vancouver Blog]
