Re: [ Extreme] Rogers Throttling encrypted traffic (HTTPS)

And it looks as it's going to get much worse. A copywrite
bill is coming forth. The Tories of course are responsible for this. Look for it to happen within the next five weeks or so. Look for Rogers to choke and block any significant
conent after this bill is (hopefully not) passed.

Got the info courtesy of Michael Geist's blog.

If this bill is passed, we likely won't be able to
download anything off the internet.We'll have to
watch our backs for sure. Why is Canada looking like
it's starting to adopt communism?

Communism? This is the dirty side of capitalism ... the world exists to make the rich richer and governments are simply agencies of the rich.

wow

2008 is shaping up to be the perfect storm for the internet in Canada.

1 - Copyright Bill
2 - Throttling/DPI/DPC/TOS enforcements
3 - CRTC ruling favoring Bell/Rogers

If number 3 comes true then the Internet as you have known it will be a thing of the past.

I'm also getting the feeling that all of this is not merely coincidence. If the CRTC rules in favor of Bell then that will be the tipping point.
