Canadians are rallying behind Net run for Prime Minister because of two disturbing practices of Canada’s big phone and cable companies:
1. Gouging Canadians by putting Pay Meter on Your Internet . These new fees are simply a way for big telecommunications companies to price-gouge Canadians.
2. Throttling or restricting our access to online services Canadians love like World of Warcraft.
Net’s candidacy is a tool that Canadians are using to get Internet issues, including telecom price-gouging, highlighted during the election. This campaign may be fun, but make no mistake about it, this tool highlights a serious concern: Canadians pay obscene prices for slow Internet speeds, and this is smothering our economy and social progress. Canadians need leadership for our digital future.
Please use Net’s candidacy to push the parties and candidates to make firm commitments to work toward a fast, affordable, globally competitive Internet.
