   Bell Canada (along with Videotron and Cogeco) didn't fight in 2011 when   
   Voltage wanted 50 identities from them (all in Québec).  Actually, not   
   only did they not fight, but they struck an agreement with Voltage that   
   they would not only not fight, but also not even bother showing up in court.   
      
   More recently, there have been cases involving Distributel and a few   
   other indies who also did not fight this and just let the court order   
   them to release the info.

   TSI has stated that they won't fight this. They can't really turn around   
   and start fighting this. But they have ensured that there is due legal   
   process and giving CIPPIC a chance to argue the cause.
