I'm left confused by that allegation, to be perfectly frank with you.
This debate has been raging at the CRTC for about two years. Here is the submission of the Campaign for Democratic Media, which is actually the precursor to OpenMedia. Mr. Anderson was on. It's a thick document. They've put a lot of thought into this, and this doesn't even include the appendices. And this is what they say in it:
A customer that wishes to use more bandwidth in a given month can merely pay for it. In this respect, the impact on users is minimal. There is also a measure of fairness to pricing incentives, in that the user is getting the bandwidth they are paying for.
They go on to say:
Excess monthly usage charges are more reasonable in this respect because they target those users that actually produce the most traffic on a network.
And they say that “Excess monthly usage charges”, which are the ones we've imposed, “are also preferable to time of day fees with respect to customer control, because the user is able to ration their usage as needed over a given period of time.”
So I have a hard time squaring this, which is very recent with an allegation—
