It's not bold or dumb in Canada. Expect to see similar plans from Rogers and Bell very soon. The Canadian telecom industry, backed by the CRTC, has operated as a public cartel for a very long time now. These are the same folks responsible for giving us the highest cell phone rates in the world, no such thing as nation-wide long distance plans, maximum data caps that dropped from 95GB to 80GB over the past 5 years (at least on Rogers), and basic cell phone plans don't even come with call display or voice mail (those are extra features).
Unless a government rolls in and breaks the ISP portions off into independent companies I don't see anything on the horizon stopping this syndicate.
