This is what data caps have been about all along, at least in Canada - I sincerely hope no one is surprised. I'm just a bit surprised to see Shaw leading the charge, and not Rogers or Bell.

This is what happens when all the major ISPs in a country also happen to be the major TV companies. There's no reason to expect them to just roll over and die while the Internet eats their lunch.



Shaw is smaller than Rogers or Bell. If they can get away with it, you can bet that Rogers and Bell will be chasing quickly behind.

Stephen "Friend to Big Businesses and Media Conglomerates" Harper won't bat an eyelid about how bad this is for consumers and competition.
