i feel all this will head to a civil war type of showdown.the public wont stay quiet for long
It doesn't happen much in the US, where consumers are accustomed to one monthly payment covering access to every service on the 'Net without degradation. ISPs therefore deploy DPI gear at their peril, as Comcast found out when it begin forging TCP reset packets to slow BitTorrent uploads. Consumer reaction came quickly, and FCC oversight soon followed.
The same thing happened with NebuAd, the company that hoped to monitor ISP networks to deliver targeted advertising to end-users based on their surfing habits. After outrage and congressional involvement, the company lost its CEO and dropped the controversial approach.
That is encouraging news for the US.
The Canadian situation is more perplexing.
Canadian law professor Michael Geist, commenting on this morning's decision, said that it was important to look at the bigger picture. \"In the span of 13 months, there has been a major CRTC case, a private member's bill on net neutrality, a rally on Parliament Hill, the emergence of BitTorrent as distribution tool for broadcast content, a more vocal business community supporting net neutrality, and a gradual shift of this issue into the political mainstream...\" he wrote. \"In other words, today's CRTC decision is not the final word on net neutrality in Canada, but rather the first word on it.\"
CRTC is moving rapidly with the proceeding, and all final reply comments are due by the end of April. A public hearing is set for July 6 in Gatineau, Quebec, after which the CRTC will presumably rule on the question of just what sorts of bandwidth throttling measures Canadian ISPs will be allowed to take.
So that's when the next debate in Canada starts.

And speaking of transparency, most of the important information in the filings was provided on a \"confidential\" basis and is not currently available to anyone but CRTC staff. This includes link utilization thresholds, detailed traffic growth numbers, and (most) vendors of the DPI gear involved in the throttling.
Airtel & co are not likely to part with similar info lightly.

It looks like in India they're skipping DPI (costly equipment?) and have gone straight to using FUPs to milk subscribers of their hard earned money... If they use both DPI and FUP.... argh!

I don't think that it is expensive for India and India's ISPs to procure any equipment or software. It is just that instances of deep packet inspection are not so well known in India as it is noticed in the west. This does not imply that it is not happening in India.

But the same technology can also be used to intercept e-mails and other forms of online communication like internet chat and Voiceover Internet Protocol. Senior officials in New Delhi who are acquainted with the government's response to internet-based terrorism told DNA on condition of anonymity that effective mechanisms have been put in place to sniff and monitor the domestic internet traffic.
😱 without a warrant!this is before even the IT act 2008
Sources told DNA that this form of internet monitoring has been "more or less" accomplished with the top five ISPs in the country. Every e-mail or data transfer across India can be tracked and...read.
