OpenMedia.ca has just released a thoroughly researched 150-page report that answers just that, and makes an indisputable case against closed, costly communications. Find it at http://openmedia.ca/plan.
What if Canadians payed twice as much for Internet as our global counterparts? Well, we’re nearly there. And it won’t be long before this becomes a reality if we leave our digital future in the hands of Big Telecom companies.
Arm yourself with information:
- Big phone and cable companies have wrongly claimed that online traffic has increased dramatically in recent years, but our research shows that the opposite is happening.
- These same companies boast about their investment in digital infrastructure, but we discovered that investment is increasingly out of step with revenues, and the infrastructure investments of their global counterparts.
It turns out that charging extra fees for “excessive” Internet use is gouging, pure and simple, and it’s holding us back.
**Canada Needs a Plan**
Titled Casting an Open Net: A leading-edge approach to Canada’s Digital Future, our report lays out a clear and concise plan to lead Canadians to a gouge-free, open, and affordable Internet.
We timed this report launch to coincide with the impending new parliament. Canadians have a unique opportunity to influence the next four years of digital policy, today.
