ISPs in countries such as New Zealand are pushing back against "graduated response" policies that would create a three strikes and you're out policy terminating subscribers based on unproven allegations of copyright infringement...Quebecor argues in favour of certain instances of ISPs controlling content, including anti-spam or child pornography blocking. Moreover, it suggests that copyright policies that build upon the graduated response policies in other countries should be added to the list of content controls that benefit society. The nastiness in this is that all of the smaller ISPs either run on Quebecor's infrastructure or Bell's, and Bell throttles the speed. Bell does this with every ISP that runs on their infrastructure too.
