  1. France orders ISPs to block hate content

    http://mhgoldberg.com/blog/2008/07/france-orders-isps-to-block-hate.html

    Preparations for The 2008 Canadian Telecom Summit kept me from attending to all of my emails and news clippings. I notice that last month, a French court ordered ISPs to block hate material hosted in foreign jurisdictions. An article in Express indicates that the court has ordered ISPs to take all appropriate steps to block access in France to the offending content. …

  2. Inbound, outbound, all around the town

    http://mhgoldberg.com/blog/2008/07/inbound-outbound-all-around-town.html

    My internet went off the air yesterday around 1:30 in the afternoon, at precisely the same time that I lost connectivity for the entire bundle of services from that provider. Service was still down when I left at 6:30. It came back up this morning. Sorry for the delay in posting today. …

  3. Hands-free when sans fil

    http://mhgoldberg.com/blog/2008/07/hands-free-when-sans-fil.html

    It's Canada Day. A day for barbecues, picnics and fireworks. It is also the day that a three month grace period ends in Quebec for drivers using cellular phones without a hands-free kit. Violators can attract a fine of $115 plus 3 demerit points and penalties apply even if the drivers are simply spotted with a cellphone in their hands, whether or not there is an active call. …

    Bill C-555 “Get Connected Fairly Act”, Good News For Canadian Cell Phone Owners

    http://www.cellphones.ca/news/post003158/

    a fact sheet disclosing every service and cost. That’s surely welcome news for the many Canadians who are often surprised at the cost of their cell phone bill every month and frustrated overall with wireless services in Canada. As Mark Goldberg wrote in his blog “Bill c-555 is a sign of frustration with anti-consumer practices such as unilateral changes of terms and fees outside contracts.” (more…) This is a post from Cell Phones Etc. entitled:

    Canadian Telecom Market - Busy Time

    http://blogs.pulver.com/jarnold/archives/2008/05/canadian_te...

    that officially got underway today. I haven't had time to track it closely, but if you want to keep score, you can track the results at the Industry Canada website. It's also being widely covered in the business press, and blogging colleague Mark Goldberg is a good place to go for ongoing commentary.

    Net Neutrality, Americans Canadians, save your internet!!

    http://thinkinggeek.stewartclan.ca/2008/05/net-neutrality-am...

    The panel believes telecommunications service providers, in most cases, have little or no incentive to interfere with customer access If this were true, then why is the US having fits about this in the senate and in the media? Mark Goldberg seems to think that we in Canada are taken care of by existing law, now not being a lawyer or a net neutrality expert I have no grounds to challenge this but the above naivete is concerning and I’d like someone to show me the nice solid language that
