Ontario Government Wants To Regulate the Internet

"This afternoon, the Ontario government appeared before the CRTC as part of its future of television hearing. Michael Geist reports that it issued a clear call for new regulation of so-called new media companies such as Netflix and Google. The government states: "In order to create a more level playing field, the ministry recommends decreasing this regulatory imbalance. The ministry believes the best way to accomplish this is to expand the regulation of new media TV, rather than by lightening the current regulation of traditional TV." What does the expansion of regulation involve? For the Ontario government, it includes regulating foreign online video services such as Google and Netflix, but exempting Canadian services."
Looks like everyone wants to control the net for their own agendas. How about we let NO ONE control the net and let it be free?

Actually, I believe the cable companies are going to become the gatekeepers of information in North America. See, turner and friends know how to pay off the right people. Something the tech billionaires have yet to learn.
This is just the Canadian version of Net Neutrality.
Born in Kingston, raised in Ottawa... Ontario sucks. I'd never in a million years move back. Sadly in Windsor at the moment and the only reason this shithole looks okay is because I can see the bigger shithole of Detriot from here.
