| Canada internet = 500Kbit im on welfare and TSI gives me 200GB for 31$ with taxes canadian, I am ok with no subsidy, I am for net neutrality that means I am responsible for what i do.
Having a computer you should all realize it isn't just a gaming machine, or a word processor. When it is connected to the net YOU NEED TO KNOW THINGS. BE EDUCATED.
The fact is in canada the minority parliament actually is fun, it keeps the ruling party on its toes and if it really makes a mistake it gets replaced. WONDERFUL democracy it is.
I hope we have them for the rest of my natural life.
Now in canada they have bell traffic shaping due to bad business of overselling there net work apparently so bad that it requires a 95% slow down during the time 90% of people use the net. Its a akin to having a school bus with 50 seats and 1000 kids are trying to get on. DO YOU THINK PARENTS WOULD PUT UP WITH THAT?
Also new copyright law targets every known xvid ever made as 99.99% of them are "dvdrip" and that means anti circumvention section of new copyright law ( even for a NON copyrighted film that is dvd ripped ) will net a canadian a 20,000 fine.
This is where you americans are heading if you allow your country to go this route. OH the anti circumvention section is so vague that it even could be said that the locks on my door are now NOT MY PROPERTY and are OWNED by the manufacturer and if i have to break that lock for any reason without informing and gettign in writing from the manufacturer i get that lovely 20,000 fine.
Can't pay a fine: Maximum time you get in jail for non payment of fines = 1 day per 10 $ = 2000 days in jail or a little more then 6.5 years.
I now have 12 non copyrighted dvd rips that will get me if run consecutively 102 years in jail.
Nice of a conservative(basically republican gov't) to try that.
Also do not subsidize it. WHY? honestly the telcos need to make some money here. And if they want to be greedy to the nth degree, here's a doomsday scene in canada.
BELL wins the crtc action, slaps all tsi users with 24/7 traffic shape , circumvents the MLPPP and shapes that, puts everyone on a 30GB cap.
then new copyright law comes in ( bell has already admited to me that the new pvr they are or the svideo youcan use now they can monitor so use it when new law comes in and you get 3 charges(fines)
20% of the remaining sat users either opt out or wait till contracts die.
half the sympatico and 75% of TSI users drop the internet.
WHY? who has a use for internet that goes 30Kbytes a sec.
this across the board via CAIP loses bell over 50-60 more million in revenue.
The dropping of more internet users who has use for highspeed when any use of it expcept browsing a website
means that people will massively downgrade to dial up or half a megabit speed. watch them to start the gouge meter on those accounts.
estimation of another 120 million in revenue
that measn the teachers union goes from buying one of the most profitable companies to one barely profiting
they made 50% less profit ( 667 mill down to 330 mill)
a trend you will see continue.
60GB caps?
that is equivilent to giving me a 500Kbit unlimited
or 5 times faster then compressed dial up. |
