Net Neutrality in Canada at Risk
A new campaign called saveournet.ca has launched, hoping to bring attention to the important issue of Net Neutrality in Canada.
Their youtube video does a fairly good job at explaining the reasoning of their campaign and the importance of net neutrality:
From their site’s F.A.Q.:
What is this about?
The net neutrality controversy is about how the internet will function in the future. Recent deviations from the principle of neutrality by some of Canada’s largest telecommunications companies have put the issue of how we want the internet to function squarely before us. Canadians must make choices about how the internet should be understood: as a common conduit in which all information is treated equal, or as a place where different types of information and applications are treated differently by the companies that control access to the internet.
This is an extremely important issue that will greatly affect the future of Canadian innovation and competitiveness, especially against an American industry leaning towards protection of net neutrality under the Obama administration.
If you’re still unclear I recommend reading the whole FAQ over at saveournet.
