I'ts shocking that as technology advances to make content more accessible than ever, these companies are tyring to make it less accessible than ever. If this continues, than pretty soon you won't be able to watch an NHL game unless you're a Rogers customer, and won't be able to watch a CFL game unless you're a Telus customer. I thought capitalism was about bringing better choices to the consuer, not harder choices

Welcome to Net UN-Neutraility. It'll be just like cable TV channels. Want Google? Costs extra. Want Youtube? Add on to Google only. Want New York Times? It's bundled only with The Guardian and The Register.

And no 2 Internet packages on any 2 carriers will be the same, so comparison shopping will be pointless.

I hope they will at least buy us dinner first.
