Re: Providing a new service - hang the SOBs said by fAcEtIOUs:Hey they are bringing out a new service. So let's get out the tar & feathers and run them out of town on a rail. {/sarcasm} Bell Video Store Q&A » www.bellvideostore.ca/Help.htmFunny, I missed the part that FORCED people to use the store. 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. |
