Net neutrality bill hits House of Commons
From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:
The NDP [New Democratic Party of Canada] has followed through with its promise to introduce legislation to the House of Commons that seeks to keep the internet open and free from control by service providers. . .. . . The private member's bill, C-552, is in reaction to moves by some of Canada's largest internet service providers (ISPs), including Bell Canada Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc., to limit their customers' uses of the internet. Bell, Rogers and a few others say a small percentage of customers have been congesting their networks by using peer-to-peer applications such as BitTorrent, so they have slowed the internet down at peak times of the day.
