Good idea. We could also appeal to APA (Advertising Practitioners Association) as this also borders on culpability from an advertising agency  perspective.

Hello listers,
Im following this from a discussion in the other list from one Kelvin, his assertions were:

I think we need to as a group write a couple of recommendations for the CCK to rein in ISPs especially how they advertise. This could cover aspects such as :-

  • Proper disclosure to customers on speeds i.e should Orange advertise 21mbps and get away with it
  • Outline whether its shared
  • Provide figures for the FUP
  • Disclose whether or not inernet is unlimited
There are some things you wouldnt get away with the FCC in the US .

What are your thoughts ?

Kevin


I need to hear what CCK has to say about this, I would very much preffer ISP companies to give full disclosure of what they are selling , using a standardized nomenclature. Could someone please advise if this is enforceable?

Regards,
