Re: I told you guys before..... said by JasonD :
There was no way that Teksavvy was going to last offering excess bandwidth for a mere 10 cents a gig. That amounts to at least enabling abuse of what ultimately is Bell Canada's network.
While I don't necessarily agree with Bell Canada's position of there being 'plenty of competition', but do understand their desire to rid themselves of government regulation.
Bell Network??? That network was built with tax payer money and exclusive right to use by Bell for almost 100 years. Look at telephone revolution history. When all that started. Thousand of Business existed all providing phone service but trough Bell deal and manipulation (government) only a few one survived and Bell became and unregulated monopoly.
a little bit of phone history reported in by the www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com
Here just in case you don't want to go read the whole thing :"By 1915, there were over 1500 telephone companies in Canada, either competing with Bell or extending service to areas not yet reached by the telephone. Instead of adopting a regulatory system, government ownership of the telephone system was established in Manitoba (Manitoba Telephone Service) in 1908, Saskatchewan (SaskTel) in 1909 and Alberta (Alberta Government Telephones) in 1906. Despite the success of competitive telephony, actions by Bell and several regulatory decisions between 1912 and 1916 led to the disappearance of competition. From this period until approximately 1985, telephone service in Canada developed as a natural monopoly.".
