Comment on Canadian ISPs: “Consumers will make good choices if we don’t inform them” by Adam J. Humphreys

It’s an issue country wide with the exception of Videotron in Montreal which has amazing down and upload speeds regardless of the medium used. I was fortunate to have 10 months of incredible internet from them but I’m sure given time they’ll follow suit to the other ISP’s.

Comment on Meetings Considered Harmful? A Case For Smaller and Fewer Meetings by Adam J. Humphreys

Meetings are a fundamental part of corporate progress. They’re how ever useless if what’s learned from the brain storming is not applied, and the information gathered is not properly structured for desired goals. I agree that too much bureaucracy, and procrastination is counter productive. When I look at most large companies most of their best work was done in their infancy.

Comment on Twitter is RSS 3.0 and We’re All Coffee Beans, or Why I Won’t Use FriendFeed by Graham Batty

I agree it is fairly annoying. I kind of wish clients would auto-expand them by fetching without following a location header. At least for the known shorteners.

This one’s worse, though. Even clicking on the link doesn’t tell you what it is, only what people thought of it.

The stupid URL shorteners mean I never know what the link is, and is one of the reasons I hate twitter. With slashdot I don’t have to click the link to figure out it’s something I’m not interested in.

Eric: they are required to wholesale their service, but the wholesalers currently end up having to live with whatever traffic shaping the main provider does. There’s another article about Bell’s day talking to the CRTC (on Tuesday) where they explain this, I’ll see if I can find the link in a bit.

Bell actually has two tiers for the wholesaled providers depending on where they are in the chain, before or after the shaping.

Great post! I was under the impression that the ISP’s are already required to wholesale their services.
