CRTC Must Reverse It's Decision On Usage Based Internet Billing, Canadian Government Says

CRTC Must Reverse It's Decision On Usage Based Internet Billing http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

You can learn about this whole issues, at Anti UBB, (It is not Usage based Billing, if you used 1GB, you will not be billed less than 10GB user, It is simply a fixed fee Plus per GB charge.)

Update:
The CRTC must reverse its decision that ends unlimited internet access plans offered by smaller internet providers or the federal government will intervene, Industry Minister Tony Clement announced.
The controversial decision by CTRC, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, must be reversed, the Canadian Government has said.
CRTC decided, recently, of course influenced by Bell and perhaps it's money that effectively imposed usage-based Internet billing on small service providers. The CRTC  wanted to put usage caps on the companies that rent Bell's internet access services. None of the big internet service providers like Bell offer unlimited plans. The rule forces the smaller internet companies from offering unlimited usage plans any longer. Their customers will now have to pay based on how much data they upload to and download from the internet.
“The CRTC should be under no illusion — the Prime Minister and minister of Industry will reverse this decision unless the CRTC does it itself, If they don’t reconsider we will reverse their decision.” a senior Conservative government official said Wednesday. “Frankly, a decision like this is clearly not in the best interest of consumers,” continued the official.
Canadian consumers and internet advocates have been lobbying hard against the CTRC decision, which they said would lead to higher prices and snuff out competition among internet service providers (ISPs.) The CRTC with theoretically prevent consumers from taking advantage of new services such as Netflix, which allows users to stream high-definition movies and TV episodes over the internet to their television for a monthly flat rate.
