The backlash on this is going to be HUGE. I'd hate to be a member of the CRTC for the next few weeks. It just proves that Ma Bell, even in another country, has the best lobbyists in the world and would rather litigate than innovate. |

I was really hoping the CRTC would stick it to The Man. Maybe CRTC is part of The Man. |

I have to agree, and I'm not proud of it. The Americans voted for change: Obama is a Tech Savvy president. While us... we voted a conservative government.
Hell, our politicians sucks now, we don't have leaders worth electing for. We need Trudeau or Jean-Chrétien back in Canada. |

Perhaps it is time to dissolve the CRTC as its usefulness has worn out. |

| Bell sucks
What doesn't really make sense here if they are worried about network congestion wouldn't they filter between the hours of 9-5 to ensure no issues? Why would they filter after work hours which is something that is really strange.
Funny how with the increased bandwidth Bell did not upgrade. Bell is 10 years behind. |

Wow, this is such a disgrace. I'm ashamed to be in this country. It's a sad state when this government is so blantant in such a decision. It goes to show you the majority of our citizens really do not know much about how they are abused when it comes to technology. |

I really thought that the CRTC would vote against Bell Canada.
Totally sucks for Canadians. |

I think its time we get rid of the CRTC they are doing nothing good for the customers!
I think its time to start our own network and get rid of bell/rogers |

This is wholeheartedly disgusting. I really thought that despite the typically inept CRTC, they'd rule in favour of the wholesalers. -- ....where's my fiber? |

Yeah, greed has no creed or face in this world, it exist everywhere. What no better example than in the face of overwhelming evidence that no problem exist, it is ruled that a problem "must" exist somewhere. -- Fight NebuAD and the like: Click Here to pollute their data |
