I've got to say that I'm definitely skeptical. What does the business model change to if you have everything included? Though I suppose getting 150 a month from each of their clients wouldn't be such a bad thing.
And can I get unlimited data included with this plan?
I agree. But voting hardly seems to be a viable option, as less than half the population could be bothered at the last presidential, let alone senate or house races. Then again, the only candidates who have a decent chance at election are incumbents (already corrupt) or those rich enough to buy the media time to secure a seat.
Is anyone else terrified of their government?
More to the point, is anyone else confused about how their fellow citizens can be so stupid sometimes?
This isn't news. This is a standard business practice.
You give me something I want (exclusive offerings), I give you something you want (placement and money).

It's a good thing that the Canadian govt will deal with adware by procecuting anyone who dares to get on the Olympic bandwagon with spam or adware...
Or will they?
Nah.
It seems to me that the only thing that they've really changed is the addition of newly printed materials (business cards, how to booklets, etc.). They did add back the free email, which had been free, then they charged for.
And the ability for group organizers to collect fees from "free members".
All I really see is vague allusions to NEW services. But nowhere can I find what these services actually are.
I do own a domain name.
I haven't noticed a problem with spam on my whois address. The address I used for whois is the same I use for nearly everything else. If you have a problem with spam, you should switch to a domain broker who will hide your contact info for a small fee.
It seems you don't grasp the concept that even though it's still April 1st where you are, that it's been over for an hour and 46 minutes when Zonk posted it. Are you canadian, south american, mexican, or an island in the pacific west of the date line? Because those are the only places that it was still april first. (this is just curiousity on my part)
Especially considering that they can't even encrypt anything that happens to be on the chips...
Kiss that credit card security goodbye... all it'd take is someone with a scanner to walk by you, and get it. You'd never know.
Which is why this won't go any further than theme parks and other localized ares.

You've forever ruined a decent ad for me.
God, that's not an image I needed.
Ever.
