CBC explains internet usage-based billing
Canadians on my flist/dwircle, if you haven't signed the Stop The Meter petition yet, can I please encourage you to do so? Bell, Rogers, and Telus want to put a pay meter on internet usage, which means charging per byte. Bell, Rogers, and Telus already control so much of Canada's internet access and instead of competing with each other to provide competitive prices for consumers, they're forcing everyone to pay their unrealistic prices.
CBC did a segment on how internet usage is currently billed and what it'll be like in the future.
ETA: Okay, the above CBC video is old information, apparently. Sorry about that! Thankfully
facetcathy explains what's going on in the comments. Definitely check out this blog post on the politics of metered billing in Canada.
