My God, it loads.

Go HERE GUYS: http://www.cpac.ca/asx/cpac2e.asx

Thanks! I'm in now.

 

[Zombie James]

Bell asked for a delay? RIGHT.

 

[firehawk12]

Bell is asking for the delay?

What's going to happen is that they're just waiting for the election to be over to push the issue... right guys? :lol

 

[soultron]

Marc Garneau bringing the rain.

Make this shit viable for smaller ISPs to compete. Consumers want some choice.

 

[Shambles]

Fuck Bell. They request for a delay to try to save face -after- they know that the government plans to reverse the decision. Bell and Rogers can go rot in hell.

 

[EvilMario]

Fuck the delay. Kill it now. If they refuse, CRTC needs a complete shake down. Push them on this Liberals. If the Tories have to save us from these idiots, I don't know how I can possibly vote for Liberals next election. NDP.. to the rescue?

 

[dream]

Man, von Fincekenstein's heavy accent makes him sound like a supervillain.

 

[soultron]

The smaller ISPs are suggesting 25GB caps?

Sure, Fincke.

 

[Zombie James]

Oh my god, this guy's logic is insane.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Oh my god, this guy's logic is insane.

It's all tubes, I tells ya!

 

[The Omega Man]

Man, von Fincekenstein's heavy accent makes him sound like a supervillain.

this, that accent equals an evil guy by default

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

That's it? :/

That's not "it".

That's government for; "Derp...we don't know what the fuck is going on, but the proles are up in arms about this. Let's use these two months to create a task-force, at which point the task-force will say their investigation is inconclusive and need a further delay."

I could be wrong but I doubt this will ever see the light of day now.

u guys watching something else? they are talking about the free trade agreement??

 

[firehawk12]

DISCIPLINE THE MARKET!!!!!

u guys watching something else? they are talking about the free trade agreement??

You need to switch to the Committee stream (you're on the Floor debate stream).

Finckenstein: caps won't impede streaming


wtffff?

 

[soultron]

I don't know if it's the translator fucking things up right now, but this response seems insane.

Seems like Finckenstein is backpedalling on every accusation saying, "No, no, that's not what we meant! We're not the bad guys!"

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

This just in: Netflix putting stress on teh internet. News at 11.

WHAT A FUCKING DUMBFUCK, MAN!

 

[Spl1nter]

disciple people for using the internet...

 

[crimzonflame]

Netflix is a huge strain on the internet guys!

 

[Zombie James]

Here we go with the "small minority" shit again. If it's a SMALL MINORITY then how are you having congestion problems?

 

[Vhalyar]

Apparently people who use more than 25GB/month are a minority!
And that translator seriously sucks :/

 

[Mr_Elysia]

It seems to me that he is purposefully heavily spinning, or he is ignorant of the issue. Neither of which is acceptable.

 

[Spl1nter]

So what im getting from this guy is that the network is so overloaded that regulation is required.

lol applying electricty and oil pricing to the internet

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Can a man be this fucking stupid.

 

[Shambles]

How can someone so involved with this discussion be so painfully short sighted as Finckenstein. Either has has no perspective at all or has been drinking Bell/Rogers juice for too long. Either way I think someone with a better grasp of technology should be working at the CRTC. Too many beaurocrats don't even understand that the freedom is dependant on the free exchange of information and decisions like this work directly against the masses.

I also like how they can't decide if it is a large problem or affects very few people in which case it's not a network problem.

 

[dream]

I wish there was someone savvy enough on the panel to call him on his bullshit. I wish there was someone evil enough to bait him into incriminating himself.

How can someone so involved with this discussion be so painfully short sighted as Finckenstein.

Gotta push that agenda...

 

[DopeyFish]

Wow I'm far more angry than I was before - CRTC isn't consumer focused whatsoever

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS THIS?! HE JUST COMPARED INTERNET CAP WITH OIL AND ELECTRICITY!

 

[Grayman]

Oh my god, this guy's logic is insane.

you pay for oil and electricity like this :lol

 

[Shambles]

He just got called the fuck out for existing for the benefit of big corporations and not the people, beautiful.

 

[slamskank]

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS THIS?! HE JUST COMPARED INTERNET CAP WITH OIL AND ELECTRICITY!

Finckie has to be the dumbest bureaucrat in Canada, a puppet of the telcos.

 

[Zombie James]

you pay for oil and electricity like this :lol

Bandwidth mining must be expensive.

 

[Zombie James]

Why does he keep talking about speed? This isn't about speed.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

"excessive user"

...whoops.

 

[Tiktaalik]

The theory of what Finckenstein is one thing, but the reality is that the caps and cost is competely out of scale and has no sense in reality.

 

[Shambles]

Thank god this clown isn't in charge of our infrastructure. We'd be paying monthly fees on the roads based on the length of our commutes.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Reverse it, don't delay. They obviously want:

1. time to make UBB an easier pill to swallow
2. time to allow the public/politcal/media response to diffuse
3. a more opportunistic time to pass UBB through.

all the while consumers, small ISPs, and online businesses have to wait in limbo to determine the future of Canada's internet.

 

[krae_man]

I can't watch this now, Is this going to be archived somewhere for me to watch later?

 

[Tiktaalik]

It's also insane because it's so obvious that in the immediate near future the amount of bandwidth that everyone is going to be using is going to explode in size.

 

[soultron]

So the CRTC never saw OpenMedia bum rushing the fuck out of them.
Now they've sent von Finckenstein, who's unprepared as hell, to run damage control/STALL.

We caught you with your pants down trying to take a piss on us.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Teksavvy talk. Saying how they offer unlimited and it's bad for Bell. Fucking bullshit!

 

[dream]

Did he just say TekSavvy went to them and said "we like the ruling?"

 

[Zombie James]

I hope someone brings up the real costs of bandwidth.

 

[lethial]

Thank god this clown isn't in charge of our infrastructure. We'd be paying monthly fees on the roads based on the length of our commutes.

We kind of do already. Fuel surcharges and shit.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Conservative softball questions

 

[Shambles]

He likes to talk a lot about the 'well being' of ISPS and talks little about the well being of the people who he's actually supposed to be looking after.

 

[Frustrated_me]

OMFG @ THIS GUY!!!!

IS HE FOR REAL!?!?!?!?!

edit: holy fuck im smoking right now, we're paying this guy to run the crtc? JESUS CHRIST. He keeps saying that 15% isnt enough of a discount for the ca[ imposed for the smaller ISP's... HOW ABOUT NO FUCKING CAP AT ALL!?!?!?!?!

 

[soultron]

Did he just say TekSavvy went to them and said "we like the ruling?"

He already stated that the smaller ISPs were the ones wanting/pushing for the cap.

Yeah, he said that.
