I would imagine a sizable check from Bell is being delivered as we speak, or a few behind the scenes calls are being made.
I would love to think this will be a win for Rocky et all, but I fear the worst and hope for the best. |

They will want to make both sides happy, which of course will make neither side happy. So expect the decision to come down somewhere in the middle.
Most likely outcome:
1 - CRTC says that Bell has to honor existing wholesale agreements and not throttle.
2 - Throttling will be OK as long as it isn't discriminatory. Sort of like what the FCC and Comcast came up with in the US.
3 - Bell will add throttling to any renewals of existing wholesale agreements and all NEW agreements.

Something tells me that this won't go easy.
I think we the people and also independent ISPs are going to be disappointed tomorrow.
With all the money that they have saved on NOT upgrading, that means they have plenty of money for Bribery (Lobbying) |

Very likely.
Item #3 will probably be with caps and/or tiered usage.
Expect price increases if anything.

My understanding is this case only involves the current agreement and the only decision rendered will be whether Bell can apply throttling to wholesale. If there is going to be any changes to the wholesale tariff, it will have to be dealt with in a new case. |

You said it. At least we found out the FCC ruled throttling to be unAmerican but Canada is a socialist country bordering on communism. Thank you for still offering us dial-up from your country for one third the price of dial-up in Canada. |

That's pretty much it. And the CRTC chairman has already indicated that a further investigation in current throttling practices will be initiated at a later date. |
