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 serviceJust yesterday, The Globe and Mail has also offered opinions about just that same question : » www.theglobeandmail.com/ ··· 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."

This is one of the better articles I've read. He approaches it properly and talks about what is fair. |

a new one today : » www.theglobeandmail.com/ ··· 1890730/quote: We established independent regulators because theyre supposed to have the expertise, the freedom from partisan pressures, the time and the longer-term perspective to make the painful and complex decisions required to keep industries that are otherwise liable to market failure operating in some semblance of the public interest. Does the cabinet really want to position itself as the effective arbiter for all the campaigns of rent-seeking and special pleading that an institution such as the CRTC has historically dealt with?
