Rogers inserting it's own messages into pages you are viewing

Canadian cable giant and ISP (Internet Service Provider), Rogers, is testing a system that enables it to inject messages to Rogers subscribers regarding their bandwidth usage. The company offers a tiered service with different bandwidth limits, the messages are meant to inform subscribers when they are nearing their limit. The move is setting off alarm bells with net neutrality advocates as the potential for using such technology for other purposes is very real. According to ArsTechnica, a Rogers spokesperson says "This is a trial to make it easier for our customers to keep track of usage. There is no deep package inspection and there is no privacy issue."

CRTC changes "winback" legislation... ISP's can beg and bribe to keep your business

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates the telephone, cable, and Internet companies in Canada, and until now your current ISP had to wait 90 days to try to woe you back when they received your notice that you were changing providers. The rule, which ended on Friday, was put in place to protect small ISP's and resellers from the likes of Rogers and Bell who obviously have more resources to throw around. All bets are off now, so expect the phones to start ringing and the begging to begin! Thanks CRTC.
