Re: Canada could get metered Internet
Not really could. I can't believe there isn't already a post about this. Anyway this is tremendously fucked and every single internet user in canada should be standing up against it to get it changed before it goes into effect because it should be fucking illegal.

Yeah, it's not "could get". It's inevitable at this point. I'm attending a rally at Dundas Square on Friday afternoon and if any J2ers around Toronto could make it out that would be great.

Re: Canada could get metered Internet
This is the reason most people have a problem with it. Bell is rolling out their own IPTV service with no bandwidth restrictions (for some reason they don't feel the need to meter this streaming video service) while people who are subscribed to Netflix are going to get fucked in the ass by bandwidth costs.joe wrote:netflix would go out of business if this passed in the US

The ISP's are just trying to make more money. If this does happen (there is always hope it won't) other ISP's around the world could start doing the same....

It also seems very illegal, assuming Canada has the same type of commerce laws as America.

Canada isn't the US, buisnesses don't run our government. They definatley do have influence, but not like that in the states. Plus with a possible election on the horizon, the Conservatives want to try and get some support from the more "tech savvy" crowd and show them they will stand up for them.
It's very naive to think business doesn't run our government. Hell, the United States government partially runs our government.
