I think now that this has reached boiling point here, a lot of international eyes are focused on us.

People have gone from saying "Look at those poor bastards" to "OMG with consolidated media ownership that could happen/is happening here too."

Yes - for whatever reason, 2011 hasn't been listed in the index yet. I had to reverse engineer the 2011 listing page (not hard) to find it.

TheRecord - CRTC ruling sparks fears of expanding internet fees

quote:
Paulina Cumming is required to watch as many as 10 YouTube videos a week for her University of Guelph biology class.

She accesses most of her homework online, including lectures and notes. With the Canadian Radio-Telecommunications Commission deciding on Jan. 25 to allow usage-based billing by internet companies, Cumming is worried she and her five housemates won’t be able to afford the higher cost of accessing the internet...

One small internet service provider, TekSavvy based in Chatham....

CFRB !

said by AkFubar:

This morning the CFRB Ottawa correspondent confirms that the Harper gov't is not happy with the CRTC decision and is reviewing it. The correspondent goes on to say that internet bills will increase as much as 90%. Also mentioned were rallies and the big petition. The correspondent then says he figures Clement will send the decision back to the CRTC for a "common sense" review. This got primetime morning exposure and CFRB still has a fairly large listening audience.

Great balls of fire... why on earth would you send it back where it came from in the first place. They should just kill it.

I quoted this post because I was able to read the CHAT LOG even AFTER the event was done.

You might find it to be interesting.

PM Harper Orders Review of UBB

.
»Canadian PM Orders Review Of CRTC Decision - Karl Bode - DSLR

»www.theglobeandmail.com/news/tec···1890567/
quote:
The campaign also got a jolt of legitimacy from a formal, 27-page petition filed to cabinet by a lone computer consultant in Montreal.

Jean-François Mezei, who runs Vaxination Informatique, stayed up late last Wednesday finishing a type of document more commonly filed by the lawyers and regulatory experts of large telecom companies like Bell and Telus.

Mr. Mezei first got involved in 2008 at a protest against carriers being allowed to “throttle,” or squeeze, their networks to control network congestion.

“This process has taken me now from a being a protester on Parliament Hill to successfully handing a petition to the governor in council. And it looks like the minister has gotten the hint that this needs to reversed,” Mr. Mezei said.

He said he called Industry Canada on Tuesday and the bureaucrat answering the phone said that in 10 years at Industry he had never seen a document filed by an individual go so high.

“My petition was an enabler of this, rather than the cause. But it still feels good to feel like you’re part of something big.”

Clement on CTV

.
In the 1st clip (from CTV's PowerPlay), Industry Canada Minister Tony Clement is interviewed for 5 minutes and he seems to either understand the issue, or has at least been well briefed on the topic.

»watch.ctv.ca/news/powerplay#clip411156

He appears only briefly part way thru this 2nd clip of several interviewees.

»watch.ctv.ca/news/latest/interne···ip411276

This is one of the threads discussing his interview(s) on CTV.
