Bell Canada Devises Backup Plan To Kill Wholesale Competitors
Posted On 07-18-2008
Last March, Bell Canada started throttling wholesale competitors without telling them, ensuring that smaller ISPs couldn't offer a superior un-throttled connection to consumers. The move thrust the previously subdued network neutrality debate into the Canadian spotlight.

According to Google, Bell Canada is breaking the law by engaging in such throttling, which Bell says was necessary because of congestion (something they've been unable to prove). In a submission made to Canadian regulators the CRTC, Google had this to say:
