Re: The Roots of Net Neutrality Rules in Canada
by
Anonymous
This is a far cry from anything useful. Net neutrality is about QoS not just censorship; though both are occuring. Its about cartel like activity and massive conflicts of interest.
There is a petition you can get involved with at http://www.neutrality.ca
If you look at the american debate; even the opposition to neutrality (hands off the internet or whatever) are using phrases like " and those things happened in _Canada_" when referring to the cited net neutrality issues.
It is in fact, Canada that has the problems with neutrality on the internet not only the us. Something must be done if we are going to have a competative marketplace for canadian internet companies. Otherwise, development in canada will be analogous with how cellular/mobile data innovation is occuring with the telecoms and cable companies; and that would be a massive failure with everyone being expected to kick-up to the telecoms for rights to access their subscribers. One need only look at the state of canadian cellular-application development to see how important net neutrality really is.
To think that theres not a problem and that regulation is premature; violations are happening now and they need to be corrected. CEO's of the major telecom's are waxing poetic about their new tiers of service and yes, the internet is at risk of losing its frontier style freedom.
So act, and demand that CRTC does the same. With solid, clear and defined net neutrality legislation.
