Re: CRTC looking for comments on #### said by Davesnothere:NOW we know where the CRTC got the idea to be curious ! The CRTC is not "getting curious" since they already had all the numbers they needed to derive Bell&friends' proposed tariff rates from "in confidence" filings. What they want is to open enough of those to the public so third-parties can repeat the CRTC's exercise and probably reach similar conclusions/rates as the CRTC has. |

IOW, they do not want to be held solely (at some future date) responsible for just taking B$ELLetc's word for the numbers behind the various ####s.
They would rather share that potential burden with some of the other interested parties by making them more participative in the process.
Besides, there are some sharp minds out there which would either confirm or dispute the hidden numbers, and the CRTC might well be just as curious as WE are to get some feedback from those minds.
I DO get all that, and was just being facetious earlier - sometimes that is hard to do textually, so I also amended that post by adding tags.

We have only 2 things about which to worry -
(1) That things will never get back to normal
(2) That they already HAVE !

quote:
The CRTC had issued a new pricing model in November that would see smaller ISPs, which lease space on the networks of larger providers like Bell Canada, pay for the total capacity they need rather than the volume of data downloaded.
That compromise decision, however, is now being appealed by CNOC and companies including BCE, Rogers and Quebecor Media Inc.
A CRTC spokesman confirmed Thursday that the consultation is separate from that appeals’ process. As a result, if the consultation results in changes to the disclosure of confidential costing information, those new rules would not apply to the current appeals process.
