George Ou has a good overview, spread over several blog entries, why Internet traffic management is useful and arguably even necessary:
http://www.formortals.com/?s=neutralityThat can be considered "good" management; I think we can agree that most people are opposed to "evil" traffic shaping/management. Telling the difference between the two? Aye, there's the rub.
I think the notification/transparency provisions in the CRTC proposal are useful to know what
might be happening, but a subscriber can hardly expect to be able to tell if/when traffic is being shaped in real-time.
