Did you know it only costs Bell and Rogers less than 1 cent/gb of bandwidth and they want to charge you $1-$4/gb you use under the new CRTC ruling? Let's stop this from happening. It's a cash grab to makeup for declining TV/Cable subcriptions these companies already make billions off us.

seems to me that if you turn a profit from the net you should pay the lions share of fees as opposed to those who just hang out

Have to agree with the OP. What most forget is that companies/corporations have expenses to pay. Rent, labour, overhead etc...

It's like complaining to the car dealer hey why am I paying $40,000 for that car when it only cost you $15,000. Or telling a restaurant owner why am I paying $50 for a steak when it costs you $15. Yes agree we are getting shafted up the ass as their mark up is 1000%.

Good threat and agree should be a sticky.

I'm convinced Rogers is behind all this, less downloads means more movie DVD rentals at their stores

 

[Mr Sheepy is back again]

and more on demand movie purchases.
