Canadians deserve better ISP transparency

Michael Geist writes about the lack of transparency surround the traffic shaping conducted by Canadian ISPs. A recent survey found that most Canadians are unaware of net neutrality issues but support net neutrality principles when informed.

Most Canadians can hardly be faulted for being unaware of the issue since ISPs have done their best to keep it off the radar screen. While solving the Net neutrality issue will not happen overnight, addressing the lack of transparency associated with Internet services would go a long way toward creating a more informed debate.
