I’m not sure if this is reason to be hopeful, but Canadian Industry Minister Tony Clement is apparently looking at the recent craptastic decision made by the CRTC to implement usage based billing:
“I can assure that, as with any ruling, this decision will be studied carefully to ensure that competition, innovation and consumers were all fairly considered,” Mr. Clement said in a statement obtained by The Globe and Mail.
I for one hope that he makes a similar decision like the one he made in regards to Wind Mobile where he let them into the Canadian marketplace even though the CRTC said no. Remember, Internet users in Canada are watching you Mr. Clement. Given that this could be an election year in Canada, I’m sure they’ll have very long memories when they go to the ballot box.
UPDATE: Here’s the full statement from Tony Clement’s website.
