Bell Canada Ordered To Prove Network Congestion Claim

[GhostShip]

It looks like one organisation is on the right path for resolving this matter at last.

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/06/19/tech-bell.html

Bell Canada Inc. has been ordered to publicly disclose information that details the level of congestion on its network in regard to a dispute over the company's internet speed-throttling practices.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on Thursday told the company it has until June 23 to make public data that was marked confidential in a May 29 filing. Bell had said it needed to keep quiet the information, which details the level of internet traffic and possible congestion on its network, for competitive reasons.

In a letter sent to Bell, CRTC director general of competition, costing and tariffs Paul Godin said the need for public disclosure outweighed the company's competitive privacy concerns.

Bell are sounding like they will be happy to comply with this, lets see if they actually do, and assuming they do let us hope it shows up the serious lack of no-partisan management and the need for some serious re-investment aside from anything else.

Bell Canada response to CRTC throttling probe

Yesterday was D-for-Disclosure-Day for Bell Canada —- the day it had to comply with the CRTC order to publicly reveal levels of congestion it says forced it to launch its heavily criticised bandwidth throttling practices.

But isn’t there something missing?

There doesn’t seem to be any mention of Bell’s Ethernet Network segments.

Just about all information centres on ATM only.

But here it is, as is, in full, as submitted by Mirko Mr 5% Bibic, Bell Canada’s chief of regulatory affairs, together with a supplemental version “filed in confidence with the CRTC” as per “CRTC letter dated 2008 06 19″.

Bell has released selected info to CRTC about their throttling of p2p traffic.
