re: Regulating Netflix

So, you charge for usage and then complain about the network burden? How unCanadian.

Heh, nice double-dip, eh? They're already charging extra up north for bandwidth overages and those  dollars should help fund requisite network upgrades. You'd think that would be enough, but guess not for Shaw, since they are also trying to protect their bcast TV interests. JB

Nice try at a double dip, eh?  Interesting that Canadian MSOs can tap usage-based billing models to help recoup network upgrade costs... but Shaw's also trying to protect its bcast TV biz.   And they have a satelite TV biz, so we'll see how they think Netflix is doing harm to that one, too. JB
