Recently the CRTC made the decision to impose new fews on the majority of internet users in Canada. The result of this decision would allow usage-based internet billing that many across Canada are seeing as price gouging, and rightly so. The OpenMedia team is working with some of the best public interest lawyers, citizens groups, content creatores, indie ISOs and online service providers to campaign against the CRTC's decision. Industry Minister Clement has taken the position that he will not allow the decision to be passed by the CRTC bu has not indicated as to whether he will accept the water-down version of that decision. In the meantimes, as concerned Canadians there are three things you can do to get involved:
- send comments to the CRTC via OpenMedia
- 100,000 letters to the CRTC are needed so the Commission, Clement and other key decision makers know that we will accept nothing less than a fundamental change in the way phone and cable companies operate; send your letter now
- support the campaign by making a small donation to Stop the Meter Fund
