I don't know who will be the first, but I hope that the new video streaming services will open the eyes of the major Canadian ISPs and force them to move away from the ridiculous bandwidth caps we have up here. With caps as low as 20GB/month, you can't watch a lot of TV shows and movies before getting over the limit. Hopefully services like Hulu will help ISPs realize that.

>At CRTC hearings in March on the regulation of new media, Rogers proposed an online video platform similar to Hulu as a means of ensuring Canadian broadcasting content has a home on the internet. The proposed service would require a Rogers' cable subscription for access

Nothings going to change as long as our regulators hand off everything to Rogers or Bell. If the government decides to regulate an online video platform (HULU), Rogers will likely make MORE money and further establish their oligopoly in Canada.
