Canada wants deregulated Internet phone service

What gives? Have the Canadians finally woken up? Here in the US I think it will always be a struggle to keep regulation of Internet communication (of all kinds) to a minimum.

The Canadian government has told the country's telecoms regulator to keep hands off some types of Internet phone services because it wants to open up further competition in the sector, a move that drew praise from Canada's two biggest phone companies. Industry Minister Maxime Bernier said on Wednesday that the minority Conservative government has called on the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to start deregulating Internet telephone services that are considered access independent, or available over any broadband connection.
