What is a FAIR PRICE for INTERNET ? .
Now that we have heard all this flap about UBB, some may be wondering whether Bell and the other big providers just MIGHT have a point after all.
So what might be a fair rate to pay for Internet, if we wish to take into account paying a reasonable price for using more ?
I posted this thread only last week, and its proposal still makes sense to me.
»A Fair Rate for REAL UBB on 5Mb DSL service
Just yesterday, The Globe and Mail has also offered opinions about just that same question :
»www.theglobeandmail.com/news/tec···1890596/
THEY wrote :
quote:
"Rather than ensuring consumers receive fair Internet pricing, the CRTC seems content to line the pockets of Cable and telecommunications companies by forcing Canadian consumers to pay Internet data rates that have no basis in reality."

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.

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

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.”

Re: Globe & Other 2011-44 (UBB) articles .
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.
