It turns out that people are turning away from TV to consume news and entertainment on the Internet. Rogers and Bell are taking advantage of their near monopoly position by charging me a fee if I choose to watch movies and other programming using Netflix and/or Youtube. That’s not fair. I can watch as much TV as I want. Why are they limiting my Internet usage?

We Canadians pay more to access the Internet, and we pay for an inferior level of service. Canada has some of the poorest-quality broadband among advanced countries. Our Internet services providers are making money hand over foot, but their profits are holding broadband adoption back.
Rogers and Bell don’t get it. Explain it to them.
