The CRTC has opened up an online forum for the next month to get the public’s input on net neutrality and the protocol-discrimination policies of large ISP’s in Canada like Rogers and Bell.
I strongly encourage everyone to go take a look at these comments to get an idea of how the internet is being manipulated by the corporations in this country. Vote for the comments you agree with and add your own comments if at all possible.
While I seriously doubt that the CRTC will actually read every comment on this site, if we are able to deluge them with enough input they will be unable to ignore it, and will be forced to realize that no internet user thinks that protocol-discrimination or traffic shaping based on content type are acceptable ways of dealing with network congestion.
We should be entitled to use the connection that we paid for in whatever manner we’d like within the law, and no ISP should be permitted to determine what content we are and are not allowed to produce or consume online.
