It's kinda normal hiring people with experience for jobs.
They are not a watchdog group tho, they are a government agency responsible for the regulations.

These are not socialist policies. These are capitalist polices being forced upon the government. Capitalism is doing exactly what it is supposed to in this case, bribing, and forcing anybody they need/want to so they get their way.
If internet keeps going the way it is, I'm canceling my accounts, and going off the grid.

+ 1. Especially if it gets REALLY REALLY restrictive (like Cale's example).

indeed. It makes me furious to see tethering as additional charges on phones.....who the cares how i use my data plan.
Same with charging an extra $10 to add your ipad to your phone package.
Where in hell do you get these kind of deals?
I have Captivate on Robbers, with free tethering and mobile AP for my kid's iPad, all on $15/month 500 mb plan.
Don't complain about it, nobody forced you to sign these deals.
Also 3web gives me unlimited cable internet with 10 mb/s for $35/month.

That cable internet wont be unlimited in a couple months.
Anyway, OpenMedia is doing a good job trying to bring awareness on the entire issue;

Actually its corporations pressuring the government to act in a restrictive manner for their benefit and the government saying yes. Government restrictions are anti capitalist. So these corporations are milking the interventionist system for their benefit. If there was true competition you wouldnt have this problem in the first place. Lets bring in true competition in the form of no restrictions on foreign ownership and lets see how long these bull practices last.

This thread should have a LOT more replies in it. I wonder if Canadians dont know what bandwidth is, or if theyre too god damn passive?

Im guessing both.
Seeing as this is an EDM board, DJ and Producers should be worried. Think about how many gigs of music and productions they upload/download a month. Add to that normal web browsing and media streaming and you will easily go over the cap and start paying big bucks.
