Re: Anti-competitive

said by gaforces:

By making it so they cannot provide superior service than Sympatico, like they used to.
It still seems like an overstatement to me. If Bell didn't throttle its own service I could understand a claim of anti competition (like MS using unpublished APIs to give itself an edge). But, they're doing the same thing they do to themself.

If they're supposed to provide more to the wholesale market than they do to themself, then *anything* would be anti-competitive. If they don't upgrade to the latest equipment, etc.

see if this helps:

* the original market = nobody throttles anything, all equal

* next stage = Bell throttles their retail customers for their own (not very good) reasons, but wholesalers do not; wholesalers can use "we do not throttle" for competitive advantage

* terminal stage = Bell throttles everyone, including wholesalers; they have just taken away the ability of wholesalers to offer a better service, which is anti-competitive

fortunately, we don't have this problem in the U.S., as the FCC has destroyed the wholesale market.
