Yeah, I briefly touched on this in the "Net Neutrality" thread and this is one of the reasons I would like to get our satellites up and running. This will be fought in the courts, but will most likely lose (unfortunately).
And, despite what everyone thinks, it's not mainly about torrents. It's about being able to double-charge you for the HD content of the future that is downloadable. This will make it so that you either have to buy their HD television or pay for the shows through "excessive" bandwidth charges.
This just highlights another reason people are sick of the CRTC and want them disbanded. Do something useful with your Facebook page and join the "Disband the CRTC" group.
Or just continue to creep on underage weemens. Whatever suits your fancy.

On the issue of "electricity is metered.......why shouldn't bandwidth be?" that ISP's keep bringing up, they leave out this little detail:

The lack of hand-raising does not surprise me

Why metered internet is just a cash-grab:

Well, it happened:
http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/05/07 ... ?art_pos=1Usage based billing. Notice how those who use less don't get charged less? It was just an excuse to charge more.
Does Rogers/Cogeco/cable in general have this nonsense?
