The regulations require small ISPs not to sell anything that does not sell the largest, for example: unlimited fewer or higher bandwidth and even less offer a better price. It's obviously a perfectly laid standard for Bell, Rogers and Shaw, Canada's big ISPs. The liberal opposition is already criticizing the move.
Now, they do not want you to have an unlimited experience of the web, if they restrict your bandwidth to a fixed, arbitrary measure and decided by your government in tongo with the ISP (how rare isn't it? a government making decisions that ONLY favor few actors in an industry where such madness has been seen? ) wouldn't it be time for the government to regulate then the advertising in banners-videobanners of these ISPs? I mean, so it doesn't consume you any more transfer.
That is, if they give you a quota of 25Gb (the case of Canada, they went from 200Gb to 25Gb), the web should be absolutely clean of advertising and spam, right? obviously the reality is that no, it is the same as the Canon for buying electronic products, this does not enable you to exchange music and movies, they continue to persecute you even criminally charging you any money. Windows Update? fuck, Netflix or iTunes or Grooveshark? Too much.
The West is becoming more and more like Egypt, the US government analyzes the "kill switch", in Australia all the content is filtered and reviewed by the ISPs by order of the government and in England basically they are being demanded the same, in that strange case the ISPs are in rebellion and propose to offer VPNs (virtual private networks) to their customers so that nothing they do can be logged in by "Big Brother".
In many countries the "paradise" we live here does not exist. The WiFi blocked by default (as happened to me in Europe) and in the case of France you have to make almost an affidavit to be able to use a free WiFi. The file sharing pursued, the transfer layered in quotas that only benefit the suppliers. The SMS are still charged a fortune and in our country Claro, Movistar and Personal raised them in price "increased the costs", even knowingly, the CNC, that the SMS do not cost ANYTHING to the telephone companies, and when I say NOTHING it is literal.
A curiosity that I found out there, it turns out that with the new prices of Canadian ISPs one could save something by buying a 160Gb SSD at $ 300 (Canadian dollars, 1.88 per Gb), send it by mail at $ 10 in a 24-hour shipment, taking the cost to 1.94 per Gb "transferred" by mail ... cheaper than the ISP's $2!!!!
If sending a disk by mail is cheaper, something is definitely very wrong, especially when we all know that the operating cost decreases over time, Canada, a super connected country, goes back in time a decade with this.
The Internet no longer exists, not only is it not what it was, they do not want it to remain the paradise of information exchange, but that of filtered information, selected and forced to consume in the quotas that they decide.
How do you buy a movie by streaming if you have limited transfer? Of course! paying more. What was logical before, you move as much as you can, now changed to "everything they let you do".
In the future having your own blog will mean paying for each visitor who comes, although it is acasional, having your own medium will be the exclusive benefit of the sponsors of power, large groups, politicians, in our case trade unionists, etc. But individuals? those who gave reason for existence to the web until now... Fucking.
And to top it off... NO more IPs
PS: Remember that a few years ago Telecom-Arnet wanted to implement this idea in our country and it backfired, at that time they proposed 4Gb a month.
