We didn't need no net neutrality in Canada.

We have two network providers and you have a free choice to get your phone, cable and wireless from whichever one of them operates in your town.

Sure we don't get 3G on our kindles and we got the iPhone a year after uzbekistan and we pay twice as much as you do for the data - but that's our choice as Canadian consumers.

Except we do get 3G on our Kindles, we got the iPhone years ago, and our 6 gig data plan is a better deal than AT&T's 2 gig top-end plan

And by ruthlessly competing with each other () they achieve the highest profitabilty in the world http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/09/04/tech-profit.ht...

they do compete ruthlessly, you should see the golf games when their chief execs get together at their price fixing meetings.
