Subject: Is price-gouging really necessary?


*Price-gouging is unnecessary. Canada needs a plan.* 

OpenMedia.ca has just released a thoroughly researched 150-page report [ http://openmedia.ca/plan ] that offers just that and makes an indisputable case against closed, costly communications. 

A key takeaway: *there is no technical or economic justification for putting a pay-meter on our Internet use and restricting access to online services of our choice.* 

We timed this report launch to coincide with the sitting of the new Parliament. Our community-developed report, titled "Casting an Open Net [ http://openmedia.ca/plan ]", lays out a well-researched plan for bringing about a gouge-free, open, and affordable Internet in Canada. 

We've done our homework. Now, as many of us as possible need to send the plan to our MPs and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. *We have a unique opportunity to stop price-gouging.* 

*Set the record straight. Send a copy of our report to your MP now.* [ http://openmedia.ca/report ] 

This is your report -- run with it! 

For the Internet, 

Reilly, Steve, Shea, and the OpenMedia.ca Team
