Shaw in Canada launches breathtakingly anticompetitive movie service
http://j.mp/qta8f1 (Financial Post)
"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 - which charges users $7.99 per month
for access to online streaming of movies and TV shows - which will
continue to count against a user's cap."

Clearly anticompetitive behavior that we have long predicted. And
just the start, you can be sure, unless regulators clamp down.
