Canadian Regulator Says No To New Internet Regs

Posted by timothy on from the leaving-well-enough-alone dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After months of fears that the Canadian broadcast regulator would try to regulate the Internet, the CRTC has come to its senses. Its new media decision today takes a hands off approach — no new regulation — and even adopts a rule against undue preferences for wireless providers."

  1. Canada and Mexico should agree on regs by WillAffleckUW · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think Canada and Mexico should agree on the new regulations and then force the US to comply with them under NAFTA.

    And restore copyright to the original 17 years with renewals until the literal person (not corporation) dies and no renewals after that.

    Canada has twice the bandwidth at half the price we suckers in the USA pay for.
