All ISPs will have to sign-up to a new warning letter regime which will be backed up by "technical measures" that will see the worst offenders have their connection speeds reduced sharply. Exactly how those measures will work and what standard of proof and appeals procedure will be needed, will be the job of the ISPs and content players to work out through the auspices of the "rights agency" – although that will not, however, be its name. |
Yes but that's still similar to a naughty boy STM, not a temporary disconnection. However given the cretin whose name is on the report mandatory disconnection and public flogging wouldn't be a huge surprise.
In other news for those commenting on STM, STM is
not a device to alleviate transit and peering capacity issues or save money there, it is to save money on local HFC network upgrades and CMTS hardware. Regardless of whether the traffic is on-net or not it still uses CMTS capacity and that's where the crunch point and most cost per Mbit is by a very long way.
