"Hey gang, I have to leave and join everybody at the ISP Summit as we all digest this further. In a nutshell though I'm not happy.

In essence I like the model but the usage component is way too high. As an example, a gig link from Bell currently costs us something like $1700/mth and under this plan it would go up to $22000/mth then looking at the MTSA pricing - $2810/mth for the same thing... it just doesn't pass the smell test."

PARENT poster has it soo wrong as does all the main media
the costs for indie isps are going up by a factor of roughly 13 times in my case and at best doubling in small regions
this effectively puts a lot a people out of work and off the net that barely afford it now.

over all somehow i think they will learn something eventually even if it has to hit them like someone tossing a brick out the window and it lands on them sitting outside

if you look at the true affect of apple ipod sales
this is the number of dipshit morons on the net.

IM GLAD its not all that high a number, cause that means there just might be hope for us all yet.

if were forced into caps by the CRTC hearings its moot
becomes to expensive to play online games at all.

NEW copyright laws will mean even using a computer becomes a legal night mare due to the technologial protection measure section cause files have attributes and modifying those attributes woud then require in writing to get permssions and im not telling microsfot or the linux kernal guys jack every time i want to change file attributes

one day this planet get wiped out by at longest the sun and perhaps in as little as an asteroid smash. IF you get the robots to build a moon base that could be deep within the moon and then do it so that we can then go there all nice n shielded at bare min should catastrophe happen on earth you dont have all your eggs in ones basket as they say. In fact the more "places" we are able to get to regardless of expense the more chances the human race will live till the end of time.
