Re: Layoffs have already started...

that'll be the day

I just ran across this story while tracking the throttling issue, and it seems very odd, the timing. Last year they roll out DPI throttling on their Sympatico customers. In March, they rolled out on the indie ISPs. Now, the way I understand trade negotiations (which I admit, isn't a good understanding) they take quite a bit of time from the first, um, thought, or executive office, or however these ideas come to be, to when the last paper is finally signed. Surely, the idea of a deal like this must have taken, say, a year or more? Right about the time they realized the shitstorm they were about to create with their throttling?

Things that make you go 'Hmm'...
