The current CRTC is under the CONSERVATIVE party influence : Corporations rule, consumers get screwed.
Sadly enough, It did not surprise me at all. :s

No, the concept of Wholesale USA wouldn't be dreamed about the FCC. In USA each competitor must install their own DSLAMs, if your on DSL repeaters or RTs, tough luck. CRTC forces BC to open up their DSL network, not their copper as in the USA. |

I highly recommend that you do some reading and check out the history between the CRTC and the current Conservative government in power before making such stupid and uneducated comments. The Tories hate the CRTC. Always have, always will.

What you can't kill, ASSIMILATE. This is what the CRTC is now : A conservative influenced organization that serves corporate interests first and consumers as an afterthought.

Dude, like I said, do some research before making comments about something you've demonstrated you know nothing about. What I can tell you with a very straight face is that with the current relationship between the CRTC and the Harper Government, the CRTC would do the total opposite of what the government wanted just to piss them off.

Provide me one link, one document, one tiny bit of conjecture anywhere that says that the Harper Government wants to "protect" Bell. Just one is all I want, something reputable that isn't some blog written by someone the likes of you. You know, a news article or something along those lines. My bet is that you can't.
Hell, I can say that the CRTC ruled in favour of Bell just like Tim Buck wanted, but of course that is totally made up, just like what you said about Harper. I also doubt someone the likes of you even has a clue who Tim Buck was.

| "Accused by NDP digital issues critic Charlie Angus of failing to understand the importance of maintaining a fair and neutral Net, Prentice yesterday avoided Angus’ questions about the government’s stance, “on practices employed by Canadian Internet service providers that restrict the flow of certain types of Internet data,” says the Globe & Mail."

Nice try, but the Globe and Mail is not a pathetic blog as you claim. There is also a video on youtube where you can see Jim Prantice in all his Glory stating that he will not interfere.

Niagara Falls, ON | Wow, you're out to lunch.
There is a huge difference between the Minister of Industry not wanting to get involved while a process is underway, and the libellous allegations you made about the Harper government somehow "paying off" the CRTC to find in favour of Bell. Sorry dude, but your "argument" is full of holes that it pretty much proves you haven't got a god damn clue on the whole matter.
