Trust me if this happened in the U.S. there would in fact be riot
- If the U.S. didn't riot over losing your homes and jobs, you really think they will over Internet.ETM

@brodster – There'll be no riot. No bang, just a whimper :)

here's a quick scenario. just today i downloaded the latest apple xcode/sdk package at 3GB and change. apple doesn't allow the simple updating of the previous version to keep the downloads small so you're forced into it. i'm not going to be charged for this beyond my monthly bill. but what if next time i have to consider this will cost me $20-30 EXTRA on my bill. that situation will suck big time. and then there's the lovable huggable netflix. take a wild guess what will happen with that service.

This means we're looking at a future where ISPs will charge per byte, the way they do with smart phones. If we allow this to happen Canadians will have no choice but to pay MUCH more for less Internet
