Submission + - Bell Canada launches its own online video store (arstechnica.com)

Submitted by rsax
rsax writes: Bell Canada recently announced that it is launching its downloadable video store just as it is caught up in a government inquiry into its traffic-shaping practices. Some consider this a conflict of interest since some content providers were in the process of providing TV shows using P2P technology before the Bell throttling issue started getting media coverage. Their FAQ states that it is not available for Mac users right now (and not Linux either of course) because they are using Windows Media DRM. They do however invite feedback on their site.

Submission + - Bell Canada misinformation regarding throttling (itworldcanada.com)

Submitted by rsax
rsax writes: Bell Canada's chief of regulatory affairs Mirko Bibic attempts to justify the throttling of the last-mile connection to independent ISPs. As is typical, Bell Canada is abusing peoples confusion between issues around the last mile natural monopoly and Net Neutrality. If people continue to confuse these two related but separate issues, Bell Canada and other incumbent phone and cable companies will win this critical debate.
