Phone and cable companies have unleashed a deep-pocketed public relations campaign designed to confuse Canadians about new Internet usage fees.

At the same time, broadcasters and cable companies are meeting in Ottawa to hash out a plan to deal with online services that are "competing for customers".

We can't let them turn back the clock. We need a well-coordinated response to prevent these corporations from interfering in the upcoming CRTC hearing.

Fundraising Thermometer

We urgently need to:

1. Support local organizers of the February 26th Stop The Meter Day Of Action.

2. Put together a united front of public interest groups, creators, indie ISPs, online service providers and half a million Canadians to put forth a well-researched, evidence-based submission to the CRTC.

Indie ISPs Acanac and Teksavvy have agreed to provide matching funds if we raise $15,000 in the next 48 hours.

Please give what you can today while we have this special matching funds offer.

If you live in Canada it might be a good idea to support this if you care anything at all about your rights and future monies spent on these services.
