I don't know what issue this could possibly address. Canada's problem is access and sometimes lack of available competition, not neutrality. I'm in a place where two of the major ISPs serve, and I have a gigabit downlink for not a huge amount of money, but just a few blocks away it's possible you only have one (DSL-only) provider who will barely sell you 20mb/s for the same. All of this is basically complete historical accident relating to deployment of cable TV.
- thomastjeffery 9y agoThe US is very much the same, just more geographically diverse.
- SuperPaintMan 9y agoWe have a tenth of the US population and are slightly larger in size. My province alone is twice the size of California with a population of one million people. Infrastructure is a gong show when it comes to profitability. In my province many areas are served by one provider, simply because it is not profitable to run infrastructure out to these areas. Near more populated areas there is more competition and major providers however. Hell, the only reason they have connections in the first place is because the provider was run and funded by the provincial government.
