Wow, I'm posting lots this month... Another quick one. Google has in testing a Measurement Lab which provides tools to help determine if your Internet traffic is being throttled. This is becoming an issue for Canada as the ISP's want permission to create a tiered Internet. For example, Google, Skype or YouTube would have to pay the ISP's to ensure their traffic moves quickly.
This has the potential to be much much worse than cell phones. Currently cell phone deals in Canada are among the worst in the world. This has slowed uptake and the development of new technologies and this is what the ISP's want to do with the Internet.
