| Info on CRTC Hearings on Open & Accessible Internet in Canada |
|
 Are you aware that there have been hearings before the CRTC to decide on how open and highspeed our access to the Internet should be? Here is an interesting point that came out in the presentations as well as an URL where you can get more info and have your say as well.
WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO!
Although our presentation went well, the Big Telecoms remained forceful and indignant. What's worse is that the ISPs' presentations revealed that several of them are throttling and employing a variety of traffic management tools. As Michael Geist noted, "There are those that throttle all the time (Cogeco), during large chunks of the day (Bell), only during congested periods (Shaw), or not at all (Telus, Videotron).
Now more than ever, it's important that the CRTC know where the public stands on this issue. You helped deliver nearly 12,000 letters to the CRTC. Now help us get even more by telling your friends and family to do the same: http://saveournet.ca/content/take-action
Definitely worth taking the time to read at the very least.

 To see the photos taken on the Victoria Photo Walk on Saturday, July 18, there are 2 locations. One has the entries into the Contest from each Walker (2 ea excluding the Leader), many of whom are BB&C members. You can also see the winner of the Victoria Worldwide Photo Walk (scroll down below the map).That one is located here:
worldwidephotowalk.com/victoria-bc-ca/
The second site is where we're posting our 20 favourite photos and believe me there are some wonderful photos on this site too. Of course, the top ones, in the opinion of the photographer, are in the link above. Enjoy these great photos of our city:
