Yeah. Rogers has been throttling torrents here for years now. I have no problems with it. However, this is not what they have in mind, in my opinion. They want to basically receive 'advertising' dollars from companies to ensure access to their sites is fast while sites who pay nothing will be put in the 'slow lane' as they do nothing for the isp's bottom line so why should they get the same priority. Its the next step to totally regulating who and what will be allowed to have a web presense. They want to make it like television because this is the model the cable companies understand and know they can monitize. Keep down new ideas and startups, keep the status quo. Keep them in charge. Thats what its all about.
