Canadians Organizing a Rally For Net Neutrality

Posted by kdawson on from the we-could-learn-from-them dept.

taylortbb writes "Canadians are fighting back against Bell Canada's traffic shaping (recentlly discussed by Slashdot here and here) by organizing a rally in support of network neutrality. The rally is being backed by a long list of organizations including Google, two major political parties, three ISPs, and two major unions.
