  The name, in the article, is CUIC.

  This fellow should contact the competition bureau.
  Refusing to do business with someone can actually be against the
competition laws. "Refusal to deal".
 
  Anyway, the guy wouldn't have been on the internet anyway - CUIC is
downstream from Storm Internet, and Storm is a "tcp-port-80" mostly ISP - they do
not let arbitary IP packets through to their customers to "protect them"
