Teksavvy CEO Rocky Gaudrault tells us they've yet to unearth the exact language in Bell Canada's contract that says the incumbent is allowed to throttle wholesaler traffic without warning (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/Bell-Canada-Throttles-Wholesalers-Doesnt-Bother-To-Tell-Them-92915). That obviously makes a big difference going forward; is Bell's move supported by substantive contract language? Or are they re-interpreting loosely worded language to justify their position? Says the CEO:We'll be meeting with a Regulatory lawyer in the AM to start discussions while we wait for the officially documented version of Bell's position. Once we have this, we'll then be able to figure out if we move forward as a coherent group on this topic or not. The biggest thing right now is to figure out all the needed angles to make sure this all plays out favourably for everyone.
Once Bell Canada lays down how they're going to justify their recent anti-competitive move, the ISPs impacted can forge their legal approach. Meanwhile, Canadian law professor Michael Geist discusses (http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/2787/125/) how this was the week the network neutrality fight truly came to Canada.
