While it's encouraging to read that "Canadians are fighting back against Bell Canada's Net Throttling", the sad reality is that a nominal fraction of web users are the least bit concerned or affected by traffic-shaping. Having participated in Michael Geist's blog initiatives and sent ballistic missives to the CRTC under the auspices of the Canadian Campaign for Media Democracy... the sad reality is that we're looking at a 'grassroots' movement of barely twenty thousand on-line activists... as opposed to the millions of E-Bay Zombies who see the Net as nothing more than their ubiquitous Pay Pal. While the NDP's Net Neutrality bill is indeed a viable initiative towards protecting the global community of Cyberspace... it won't trigger enough collective ire to defeat The Borg's Neo-Con agenda of corporate control and bottom-line biased regulation. The only way to stop this juggernaut of corporate-controlled media concentration is by direct political constituency pressure where it actually counts, forcing an election based upon principles of transparency and voter accountability. And if that fails... 'dobe wall the Jeffe-Bastards currently reigning in our New Rome on the septic Ottawa.
