This is a pretty big deal if it all gets implemented, but people are pretty ****** about it so I dont know if it will make it. Most people think its all just to oust things like Netflix that stream movies and TV, and make people not want to watch regular crappy TV that makes Bell and Rogers alot of money.

And if they really go with a 25gb cap, thats nuts. People watch youtube/netflix/itunes and download games through things steam and stuff. 25gb will be gone in a week.

It's always about the money. Money, money, money. Why try to make your customers happy when you can take away their money?

Well... it costs money to run the internet, doesn't it?

Sure, but why not make cost far more than it really should just to screw people?

This was passed, but due to a tremendous amount of outrage/protesting Tony Clement is reversing the decision. Harper is also intiating an inquiry into how on earth it actually passed(Read: Corruption).

Not the first time CRTC has done something stupid. Its well acknowledged that its in corporate pockets.
