A coalition of competitive ISPs has called for [pdf, 220KB] the CRTC to register its speed matching decision with the courts in order to permit enforcement through contempt proceedings.
The group is frustrated that the day before tariffs were due to be filed (March 13), the ILECs filed for a stay, which has not yet been granted.
Telus Communications applied for a stay of these decisions on 11 March 2009 and Bell Aliant and Bell Canada applied for a stay on 12 March 2009; however, at law both decisions continue in force and must be complied with unless and until a stay is granted. A party cannot grant itself a stay merely by applying for one.
The letter is signed by executives of Distributel, Yak, Primus, Cybersurf Corp and CAIP.
