Google has come out swinging against Canadian ISPs (incl. Telus, Rogers and especially Bell Canada) that are throttling peer to peer traffic of their customers.

This highlights the core of the debate around network neutrality - if I pay for a certain level of service I should be entitled to (a) hook up any number of devices to that connection and (b) use up to the full level of service that I am paying for. This is the foundation on which the Internet was designed and one of the key reasons that it is such a driver of innovation.

You can read my previous post about Canada's coalition for Network Neutrality here. I urge you to get involved in helping maintain a free and open Internet.
