I've sent Rosie DiManno an email. If she can't jump in for any reason, I do have some contacts at Torstar that I actually know personally and I'll call them, but I think Ms. DiManno is the right person to grab this. In the meantime, if Steve Anderson at Open Media can run with this for even a little bit it'll be a big help. I've also made him aware. Mike -- Cogeco - The New UBB Devil

I knew there was someone who wrote for the Toronto Star who loves this kind of stuff, and that's who it was. We need to get this out into the mainstream media so that regular non-technical people know just how much they can be screwed.

This is the kind of story that will wake people up to the reality of what is going wrong in Canada with Internet access & UBB. For now it only affects 30/50 plans, but it's only a matter of time before they remove the caps on all of the plans, and the other providers follow.

Yeah, and it's also worth noting that there is no competition in Cogeco territory like there is in Rogers' territory and Bell has barely built in their FTTN network in many of the communities Cogeco serves, which means we have no choice but to take it up the ass, and Cogeco knows this, which is why they can get away with it - or at least they think they can. We need to get the shit to hit the fan over this. Getting as much coverage as possible is key.

I would submit it anyway. Either they'll cover it, which is good -- or they won't and we can point out how cable owned media won't cover the story.
