Well, C-555 is being proposed by the Liberals while the copywrite law is being proposed by the Conservatives.
BTW - I put this in the iPhone thread and there has been no response as of yet. Let's say that C-555 passes. The cell service providers cannot charge a "System Access Fee". What is to stop them from raising rates to make up the lost revenue? Given that this auction is a drop in the buck of the competition required to reduce rates, the only way that prices will go down is if the government regulates the industry - and only the NDP are backing that idea.
