Quote by Michael Geist – Rogers

Funny, though, what happens when groups ask that the same network management tools be used for alternate purposes such as Canadian content rules. When that happens, Rogers, the same ISP that acknowledges traffic shaping, now says “We’re a dumb pipe. We don’t know what you’re downloading . . . so how can we be responsible for the content?” In other words, when Rogers appears before the CRTC during the new media proceeding it runs a “dumb pipe.” When it returns several months later for the network management proceeding, it runs a smart pipe engaged in deep packet inspection to identify the traffic on its network.

I Suggest That This Get Renamed to the “Bush Bias”

Availability cascade — a self-reinforcing process in which a collective belief gains more and more plausibility through its increasing repetition in public discourse (or “repeat something long enough and it will become true”).
