So if Canada decided to renege on NAFTA and told the U.S. it could not supply the 1.8m bbl/day of oil because of Canadian needs, and then turned around and announced a deal with China to supply 2m bbl/day, you would be OK with that? | |

If you've followed the history of this, it is not a non sequitur at all. It is a decent analogy. My thoughts exactly, ony you beat me too it. LOL @ TK | |

I mean this in a kind way: your ignorance is showing. | |

My bad! They're not forcing you to use their video store, they're forcing you to NOT use anybody ELSE's video store.
Bell complains they have congestion in their network, so they throttle P2P and some other streaming media formats. This prevents competitors from delivering users to Sympatico customers. Bell also throttles the connections of wholesalers that buy aggregation services from Bell, so in effect, all DSL subscribers in Ontario/Quebec can use Bell's services, or nobody else.
That's a tad anti-competitive, doncha think? Walmart doesn't MAKE you shop there, they just drive everybody else out of business so that you don't have a choice. Same thing here, except worse; it's like Walmart is boarding up the doors on other peoples' stores to stop them from accepting customers. | |

| Re: Providing a new service - hang the SOBs said by KrK :said by TKJunkMail :Funny, I missed the part that FORCED people to use the store. My bad! I think you missed more then that... you missed the point entirely. Let's see: Bell Canada rolls out throttling on THIRD PARTY ISP'S that among other things throttles sites like Vuze. Meanwhile they launch their own, un-throttled Video store. I guess you can't see any problem with that? Sure, they aren't forcing you to use their store. They're just throttling you and others from using OTHER services. Download your videos over HTTP, Rapidshare for example, and it won't be throttled, end of story. | |
