   How much of Tek's data-logging infrastructure (the servers that hand out   
   IP assignments and all associated gear) is known to the public or the   
   court at this point?   
      
   Is TS (or would TS) be reluctant to divulge that information?   
      
   I ask because it would seem that the reputation of that equipment (and   
   the compentency of how TS implimented and administered it) is central to   
   the question of the reliability and accuracy of the IP data which forms   
   the basis of Voltage's lawsuit.   
      
   Or does CIPPIC have enough info / knowledge about that equipment to   
   argue a case against it's reputation, methods or implimentation?   
      
   Or would CIPPIC argue against divulging TS customer info based on   
   something else - and what would that be?   
      
   Open wifi connection?   
      
   Someone running a TOR node?   
      
   I've read how TS seems to be different than "other" Canadian ISP's in   
   how they've handled this situation in terms of refusing (or not) the   
   request by Voltage to identify who is behind these IP addresses.  What I   
   haven't heard is the context of when these other ISP's (Shaw among   
   them?) stood up and refused these requests (ie - when did these requests   
   happen, and who made them, and what was the eventual legal outcome?).   
      
   Was TS the only ISP to be dragged into court by Voltage?
