Re: CRTC Relatiation Businesses are in business for one reason only, to make as much money as possible. I find it funny that you are so mad that they are acting this way. What were you expecting?
I'm a rogers user I don't see the difference between bell and rogers. I hate rogers and I am leaving them this month, I wouldn't go to bell either. As for competition there is price fixing everywhere. Look at the gas industry, or take a local retailer best buy and it's sister store futureshop. Look at the price fixing of lcd panels that was in the news all the manufactures which were in competition all had artificially high prices.
I know why you guys are mad, it's pointless nothing is going to change. Maybe when the cost of living becomes to high people will stand up or cut back.
I don't feel sorry for bell or any other company. They want to make as much money as possible, there is no social accountability just collusion. |

Proper (third-party, unbiased) regulation of a monopoly, as defined by our national laws and regulations. I find it funny that a seemingly well-versed pessimist chose to overlook this market requirement. |

Yes businesses are in business to make money. In a fair market that is a perfectly reasonable goal. However, when you are talking about a regulated monopoly, the rules are different. Generally, for a guaranteed rate of return, a regulated monopoly is guaranteed an a exclusive market subject to regulation. Now, if said monopoly is willing to forgo their monopoly status and go head to head with other businesses on a level playing field than I see nothing wrong with then trying to make as much money as possible. Their competitors will keep them in line.

Toronto | That's the thing, you believe in rules. Since when do companies follow rules and regulations. Even governments don't follow their own rules.
You are saying because they are regulated monopoly you expect them to just follow the rules. Rules and regulations will always be broken. Why do you think we have jails and a court system. This is not an ideal world, if Bell can cheat and lie to get ahead sure they will do it. Bell is going to do whatever it takes to take more money, regardless of "Regulations" or "Rules". My point is it doesn't matter if they are a regulated monopoly they are still going to try and do what they want.

You can dream all you want. While we are on the topic of expectation, I wish for world peace. National laws another good point I think people should follow them, no more violence crimes, no more companies which scam shareholders.
In today's day and age I think that's an unrealistic expectation. |

people in Canada want the same thing as here. They want the actual last mile providers build out the network and then be forced to sell it to some 3rd party provider for pennies on the dollar and then let them sell it for 110+ mark-up and the actual network owner not make a dime off it. |
