Groups call for public hearing on ISP throttling

| July 03, 2008

CIPPIC filed comments today with the CRTC on behalf of the Campaign for Democratic Media ("CDM"), objecting to Bell Canada's throttling of P2P traffic, and calling for a public proceeding to examine the legality of ISP traffic-shaping practices generally. The current proceeding was brought by the Canadian Association of Internet Providers and focuses on the legality of Bell's throttling of P2P traffic carried by ISPs that lease Bell facilities.
