Canadian Government Rejects Net Neutrality Rules

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian Press reports that the Canadian government appears ready to reject net neutrality legislation, instead heeding the arguments of large telecommunications companies . Michael Geist has posted transcripts of the documents which can be summarized as the government thinks that blocking or prioritizing content is acceptable, it knows that this runs counter to recommended policy, and it doesn't care because it plans to the leave the issue to the dominant telecommunications providers."

Government regulation is not incompatible with a free market.

Bull crap. Government regulation is necessary. Free market's don't work where natural monopolies exist. Even with oligopolies.

Look what's happening today. What do YOU think exxon is doing with all their excess profits? How much is "enough" profits?
