DEADLINE TO DEMAND OPEN INTERNET FAST APPROACHING

In the space of just over 10 days, nearly 4,500 Canadians have written the CRTC demanding the federal communications regulator put a stop to
discriminatory Internet throttling by big ISPs.

OBAMA STEPS UP ... CAN THE CRTC?

The CRTC should be looking to the U.S. where President Obama just signed an economic stimulus bill dedicating $7.2 billion to get fast, affordable, neutral Internet to the nearly half of American homes that don't have it! Obama announced that telecoms receiving money through his broadband stimulus package must adhere to Net Neutrality principles.

The longer Canada allows ISPs to throttle Internet traffic, the more we risk becoming the backwater of online innovation and free speech as web entrepreneurs increasingly migrate to the U.S. where the open Internet is embraced by politicians and policymakers.

We have just a few days left until the CRTC's submission DEADLINE on Monday, February 23rd. We are asking that you please take a moment to reach out to friends and family before it's too late. We also have a great informative
video for you to share: http://saveournet.ca/why
