- smokinn 16y agoIt's definitely Canada that's behind. Sure, the media producers are behind but so is everything else. It's recently been decided by the CRTC a few months ago that Bell will be allowed to apply metered billing for their wholesale resellers. Those were the last companies that would offer unlimited internet packages. Once this finally gets applied there will be no way, anywhere in Canada, to get a consumer-level Internet connection that does not have a bandwidth cap. Insane. And there are other examples too. Why do all American internet stores need to create a whole separate store (amazon.ca, newegg.ca) before they sell to Canada? Because of Canadian laws and regulations. There's a LOT of reform needed in the Canadian technological sector if we're ever going to catch up to the rest of the world. Right now we're behind and only getting further.
