Last month the CRTC asked (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/94545) Bell Canada to show proof of the bandwidth congestion that causes them to engage in the practice of throttling. That data was provided in a confidential document which the CRTC has now ordered (http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/06/19/tech-bell.html) that Bell must make available to the public. The CRTC has stated that the need for public disclosure outweighs any privacy claims that Bell is trying to make and has set a deadline of June 23rd for that information to be revealed publicly. Bell representatives say that they re in the process of reviewing the court order but that they don t suspect they ll have any trouble complying.
