Been reading more of the actual CRTC decision <http://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2017/2017-104.htm>, and came across this striking statement: 51. Professor van Schewick submitted that differential pricing practices would end the era when entrepreneurs are free to innovate without permission, which is a core net neutrality principle that has fostered innovation up until now. “Free to innovate without permission” is exactly right. That is the difference between the distributed Internet, and the centrally-controlled telephone system. Those who want to get rid of net neutrality want to turn the Internet into another telephone system.
