@dutchkimble @schizoidman Likely true. It may be justifiable in a commercial setting but in a home? Just how many HD streams would you need to run to suck up that much bandwidth?
I get regular calls from my ISP to upgrade to a 1.5GB package (we have #Fibe in this neighborhood). No thanks - the 150Mb I'm paying for is more than enough (but then, our kids have moved out so perhaps I'm not a typical household).

@ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology There's always @internetarchive . If you want a place to preserve your videos, and you don't require #monetization, upload them.
The #WaybackMachine might already capture your videos, but you don't need to take the chance, and their Video library is better curated.

@kevincox @veeesix So, why won't they release their business case showing that? They're banding about figures of $1M savings over a year, or maybe three years (depending on source) but nothing to back it up. A rather piddly sum given the size of their budget.
Did they even do a proper business case for it? It smells too much like this is just a payoff to his business buddies, and the fact that they'll be putting largely #unionized #ServiceOntario workers out of work is just gravy.

@CanadaPlus @RandomCanuck Even worse, they might contract it out to some corporate development firm, and spend big bucks for an inferiour app like they did with #ArriveCan.
