This just in:

WAR FOR THE INTERNET: "Death of Free Internet is Imminent - Canada Will Become Test Case"‏

Excerpt:

NOTE: If Canadian and U.S. ISPs are successful in implementing this
per-site fee access charges on any sites outside a "corporate core"
of websites, the entire area civil society, investigative journalism,public
protest, issue advocacy, free speech will be decimated, as we rely in
independent websites which are not tied into corporate sponsorship that would
be part of ISP service plans. U.S. and Canadian web-based journalists and
communicators are now gathering to consider (1) an online banner ad awareness
campaign, and (2) legislation in the U.S. Congress and the Canadian Parliament
to require all ISP's to offer unimpeded and open access to the Internet.

    How do we elect these idiots again and again. They don't concentrate on things that needs to be focused on they neglect and instead they focus on issues that are not necessary. Every other government is implement a faster broadband in their country like Korea, Japan etc., while speeds are here are laughable.
