Re: CBC TV request for people to talk on camera about this issue
My guess is, everyone who's replied here would be well advised to email the OP directly, in the event he is not going to look here again any time soon. I for one am forwarding him the exact same email that I sent yesterday to the G&M writer. He seemed to expand a little on the bandwidth caps to include the throttling, albeit in no great detail.
I believe that the single most influential point we have is how their bandwidth shaping affects more than just P2P. People who have made up their minds on bandwidth hogs are unlikely to change their minds easily, but no one can argue the fact that in throttling encrypted data, bell is in no uncertain way impacting the way many many canadians can access the internet. With all the concerns of identity theft, and phishing scams, a reasonable protection is to ensure data transmitted is encrypted. Essentially, Bell is discouraging this - whether intentional or not.

Thanks for the note
You've given me an idea - can you put your feelings on this topic into a short video and post it to you tube or better yet use a service like »www.yousendit.com/
We would then put it into our piece as is.
Let me know if you can do this
Best,
Shawn Benjamin
