Re: ikTel Networks - Niagara ISPI mean... it's either a hunk of BS or not. And if it isn't BS, this is very big news that everyone will want to know and run with.
K. Bode should be getting on the horn with these people to break it first.
1) Let's assume this is true...
2) Let's assume it isn't just due to IkTel.
Removing the IkTel factor, which could be as stated here »
Re: ikTel Networks - Niagara ISP, I can not see a blockade due to p2p.
BUT, there is a dropped hint in the guys MSG about moving back to Canadian IP blocks.
Does this mean he had American IP blocks and Canadians were accessing the likes of American Hulu to get decent streams that they can't get in Canada?
It does raise a question. More than one.
Did a Canadian ISP (and the incumbent Canadian ISP's here run/control all TV here, such as the likes Cogeco) have a hand in this "warez blockage" since it affects their TV revenue?
Is that why they have to jump back to "Canadian IP blocks"?
What's the story here? What's going on?
There is potential that this is indeed true.
Type of thing I would also send to Dr. Michael Geist. He would run with this for sure seeing as how Bell, Cogeco, Rogers, Videotron, Shaw et al. want to lock up TV tighter than a nuns knee's (though i have a met a few nuns that... but that's another story..).
I see a few scenario's assuming this is true, and assuming the "why" factor.
Potential story here with IkTel in the centre of it.
Up to IkTel to come forward. This type of news is free publicity for their services. Dumb to hide from it as they are doing. ...the hiding from it leads to people stating it's all BS and an excuse for shoddy service.
