The short explanation of this alert was:

Say NO to corporate control!

In ruling that Bell Canada is not in violation of the Telecommunications Act by slowing down the internet access it sells to wholesale customers, the federal regulator is permitting unfettered corporate control of Canadians' Web experience.

The landmark decision by the CRTC means that Bell and other giant telecoms such as Rogers and Shaw now have free rein to continue "throttling" service to their retail customers and those small companies that rent portions of Bell's network to competitively provide internet service to Canadians.

The CRTC must now honour its commitment to conduct a more detailed probe into whether throttling should be allowed in a general sense.
