Shame on Shaw

in ,

The new service, dubbed Movie Club, will cost $12 per month and will allow Shaw customers to watch movies and television shows on their TV and their computers over an Internet connection. However, Shaw said that movies streamed using its own service will not count against a subscriber’s monthly Internet data caps, unlike movies streamed from competing outlets like Netflix…

“There should be some advantage to you being a customer,” Shaw Communications president Peter Bissonnette told the Calgary Herald on Thursday.

And so begins the slow death of net neutrality in Canada.

    Hi Ryan,
    I believe Shaw said that streaming content would indeed contribute to your monthly data caps: https://twitter.com/#!/ShawInfo/statuses/91924351456260096
    It’s a bit confusing.

      You are correct. But they did not post that tweet until after this blog post (I should probably add timestamps back to my theme).

    […] I wrote a blogpost that echoed what quickly became the resounding verdict of the internet, Movie Club was anti-net neutrality and therefore, anti-competitive. […]
