Online Party of Canada: CRTC 2011-44 impedes our freedom of information

The Online Party of Canada (www.onlineparty.ca, Twitter @onlinepartyca) is a new, internet-based political party seeking registration in preparation for spring elections in Canada. The OPC joined various Canadians in decrying the CRTC's decision to allow service providers to apply Usage Based Billing (UBB) which could drive up Internet access costs and cap internet data limits. A move that puts Canadian internet users at a disadvantage and puts the brakes on cloud computing, Internet TV streaming services like Netflix and web based, access-heavy computer use. Below is the OPC's release on the issue.
