INTERNET INSIDER
November 13th, 2015
... Bell is wasting no time trying to get the new government to reverse course when it comes to Internet choice and affordability. The day after Justin Trudeau’s government was elected, Bell announced it would exploit an obscure, rarely-used procedure to try to overturn pro-customer Internet choice rules - positive rules that thousands of Canadians worked hard to secure.
Of course, we’re not taking Bell’s move lying down. We’ve launched a hard-hitting new action, that has already seen thousands of Internet users tell the government to reject Bell’s underhanded, price-gouging scheme. Add your voice at: https://act.openmedia.org/emergency
If Bell get their way, Internet bills will skyrocket and more affordable indie ISPs will be forced out of business. Tell the new government to listen to Canadians and stand up to the telecom giants: https://act.openmedia.org/emergency
