Rafael Ruffolo writes an article for ComputerWorld Canada discussing the recent support for Network Neutrality in the Green Party of Canada's Vision Green policy document.
“When talking to politicians that already have seats, I see an almost generation gap in policy issues,” Russell McOrmond, an Internet consultant and head of Digital Copyright Canada, said. “Most of the parliamentarians, when they’re talking about technology law issues are stuck in the 1980s. So forget about net neutrality, they don’t even understand what an iPod is yet. So, I’d love it if net neutrality became an election issue, but the realistic side of me thinks that it won’t happen because Parliament is twenty years behind what’s really going on in the world.”
