What I see here in Canada is that the same players are controlling content production, content ownership and content delivery, so they feel like they can do whatever they want. If they see that you're not buying enough of their content at overinflated prices, they choke down the delivery system via which you're getting alternative content either by throttling or by UBB. If that wasn't enough, the same guys also own 95% of the mobile telephony/data market and they are "regulated" by their former execs. Now that we won the Cold War, we're living in a Communist dream
