Giu' le mani dal mio traffico

CRTC Rules Against Indie ISPs In Throttling Dispute - Say goodnight to independent ISP competition in Canada - dslreports.com.

Earlier this year, Bell Canada began throttling the traffic of wholesale competitors before delivering it to them, and without telling them. While Bell claimed the move was to handle congestion, follow up inquiries showed little to no congestion -- leading to the assumption that Bell simply didn't want any competitors offering DSL service that was superior to their own, throttled Sympatico service. As promised, Canadian regulators issued their ruling this morning on whether Bell Canada acted anti-competitively. As some independent Canadian ISPs had worried, the ruling suggests the CRTC is oblivious to their concerns. "Based on the evidence before us, we found that the measures employed by Bell Canada to manage its network were not discriminatory -- Bell Canada applied the same traffic-shaping practices to wholesale customers as it did to its own retail customers," said Konrad von Finckenstein, Q.C., Chairman of the CRTC.

quindi, ad esempio, se un operatore volesse offrire ai propri utenti una prioritizzazione della voip, Bell Canada all'ingrosso decide che ri-cambia le priorita' penalizzando questo traffico.

certo, c'e' la discolpa: "noi abbiamo solo esaminato se un operatore puo' gestire il traffico sulla propria rete, il tema della gestione del traffico al dettaglio e all'ingrosso e' piu' ampio (!!!????? ndr) e sarà oggetto di procedimento specifico." (che avverra' entro l'estate)

bel colpo CRTC (regolatore Canadese). hai dimostrato acume. A volte sono contento di essere in Europa.
