Sure they're allowed to now. It's cause they pushed for it to get passed by the CRTC. Imagine if Netflix decided to stay out of Canada, do you think we'd be in this situation?
They are business and all they care about in the first place is money. Screw over everyone and make money while they're at it.
Just take a look at how the mobile market has changed because the CRTC allowed other companies to play. When could you even get close to unlimited everything for $40 without Wind/Mobilicity? That would've costed an arm and a leg without them.
It may seem like Telus is the option to go to now, but like what's been said in this thread is that they can't find a way to put a meter on the bandwidth. I think it's cause the TV data is being sent on the same line and it'll be hard to differentiate between TV and the internet.
This is kind of a bad analogy but think about them putting a cap on your TV? How would you feel about that? I know not everyone watches TV but that's the only thing I can think of right now. Like a new channel comes out that plays new releases of movies regularly, shaw doesn't like this so they put a cap on how much TV a month you could watch and them charging you extra for each 30minute interval of TV you watch.
