VoIP Services to be Regulated in Canada

jeffcm writes "It seems that the CRTC, Canada's equivalent to the FCC has decided that VoIP pricing and services should be regulated. From The Globe & Mail: "The CRTC confirmed that it has rejected arguments from Bell and Telus that VoIP should be left unregulated like other on-line applications. If their argument had won the day, their competitors say, the incumbent phone companies would have been allowed to limit the number of new entrants by slashing prices in the short term.""

Oooh, Aaaaah, I dare ya

This regulation is equivalent of a slippery tube child toy such as this [imperialtoy.com]

It's harder to get a grip on, much less tax on it.

New Content Rules

Also, new content rules will require that at least 40% of all conversation must have Canadian Content.

So no more yakking about last night's Desparate Housewives.

The first bunch of X-Files years are okay though...they were created in Canada.
