Line-sharing is what allows small ISPs like Wireless Nomad to thrive in Canada and offer innovative services. But line-sharing has its drawbacks; chief among them, of course, is that without control of the line, an ISP is not ultimately in control of the service it is selling. Canadian DSL resellers learned that lesson the hard way this week as ISPs learned that Bell Canada now runs traffic-shaping hardware even on the lines it resells.
Readers at Broadband Reports noted the issue earlier this week as owners of small ISPs suddenly found that their customers were having traffic throttled, even though the ISPs were vehemently anti-throttling. The problem was compounded by the fact Bell Canada did not apparently tell the ISPs that it was about to make the change. The company has subsequently confirmed the throttling and says it should be fully in place by April 7.

This isn’t Canadian news, but it’s related to one of the most prominent landmarks on earth, the Eiffel Tower of Paris. To celebrate the 120th Anniversary of the Eiffel Tower, a new Observation Deck will go up next year. This gives the Eiffel Tower a totally different feel and look. It resembles these ugly structures we see in futuristic movies rather than the romantic tower that it used to be. Thank goodness this change will only be “temporary”.
