Following the decision by the CRTC, which was released on 11 December 2008, MTS Allstream decided to petition the federal Cabinet, which has the power to reverse this decision. Others have also made their views known in opposition to this decision, including the Canadian Association of Internet Service Providers.

The government has up to one year after the decision to respond to this petition, and in the meantime, we believe it is vital that they hear from concerned citizens and businesses. The campaign is designed to provide those who are concerned with ways to communicate their concerns to key people in the federal political system.
