Usage based billing for the internet has been one of the hottest topics in Canadian politics this year. Over 450,000 Canadians signed a petition against the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) decision to implement usage based billing for the internet.

Colin Jobe and David Blackman join us in a discussion on usage based billing.

The Dr. Vibe Show: MARK EVANS – USAGE BASED BILLING AND THE STATE OF CANADIAN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS MARKETPLACE

2

Mark Evans

If you haven’t been living under a rock in Canada over the last few weeks, you’ve been consumed with the hotly-contested debate over user-based Internet billing in Canada. At the heart of the issue, which is being fought over between the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) , major telecoms and small Internet service providers, is this: should consumers pay for a predetermined amount of data or get charged for what they use?

In this episode, we speak and share with Mark Evans. Mark is a principal with ME Consulting (http://www.markevans.ca/), a content and social media strategic and tactical consultancy that creates and delivers ‘stories’ for companies looking to capture the attention of customers, bloggers, the media, business partners, employees and investors. Mark has worked with three start-ups – Blanketware, b5Media and PlanetEye – so he understands how they operate and what they need to do to be successful. He was a technology reporter for more than a decade with The Globe and Mail, Bloomberg News and the Financial Post. Mark is also one of the co-organizers of the mesh, meshUniversity and meshmarketing conferences.

Mark talks about the current environment of Canadian internet service providers (Internet Service Providers) and what needs to be done in order to make it a fair and competitive for consumers to access and pay for internet service.
