| A couple things in the CAIP submission ....
..that need further elucidation at the CRTC.
The CAIP filing states:
"There is no evidence whatsoever that Bell’s network is suffering from congestion, that this is the reason behind the implementation of DPI or that, in any event, Bell is applying traffic shaping measures with a view to alleviating only that congestion which could be said to be resulting from “malfunctioning or mis-configured equipment or malicious hacking.”"
Even if Bell's network was congested, it would be incumbent upon Bell under the terms of the published tariffs to build-out their network so that the tariffed speeds were maintained - not to throttle their network as a means of controlling 'congestion'.
In the CAIP section on privacy, it has to be emphasized that unlike a true network troubleshooting situation where packets are only analyzed when and during a fault condition is occurring, or in the case of periodic or sporadic representative sampling done for quality control purposes, Bell is inspecting virtually EVERY communication all the time. I guess they think they are in the same league as CSIS and the NSA -- and maybe they are. |
