"the CRTC's vice-chairman said Thursday after the federal watchdog ruled Bell Canada was not breaking laws by slowing down certain uses of the internet."

more proof that the CRTC is in Bell's pocket
Not at all. This is proof that the current laws need to be amended so that they are more favorable towards consumers, and not big business!

Have you looked at the CRTC chairman's bio?

»www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/about/vfinckenstein.htm

No doubt, he has a strong background with regards to how current laws deal with these matters. Sadly, in all fairness, if it was their job to interpret the law, then they likely made the right decision.

No doubt, Bell had spent lots of $$ researching and making sure that what they were doing would stand up, from a legal perspective.

For me, what bothers me the most is why it took so long for this decision to be reached....

Better still.

Read Lennie Katz (Who made the comment above):

"Prior to assuming those responsibilities, he spent 17 years within the Rogers Group of Companies, where he held various positions in the regulatory, intercarrier services and business development fields of wireless and cable services. This experience led to the position of President, Rogers Business Solutions, which he occupied until 2001. From 1974 to 1985, he acted in increasingly senior capacities at Bell Canada, including as Assistant Director of Policy Development and Regulatory Affairs."
