Big phone and cable companies are putting a pay meter on your Internet use and increasing prices across the board. According to recent reports, these big telecom companies are now charging upwards of $10 a gigabyte of data when it costs them only a penny to provide it. This is gouging, pure and simple.

Even before these new fees, Canadians were already paying much more for Internet and phone services than almost any country in the industrialized world.

The stranglehold big phone and cable companies have on communications is stifling Canada’s economy, global competitiveness, free expression and our personal budgets. We are falling behind.

Right now we have a historic opportunity to stop Big Telecom's price gouging and to take back our Internet. The first step is to ensure that our newly elected MPs are committed to promoting an open and affordable Internet as they arrive in Ottawa.

***Join almost half-a-million Canadians and make the Internet a federal election issue.***
