Re: The Blood Letting for Consumers continues Actually if you look at the details of mergers, acquisitions, and policy making of Canadian broadband, you will quickly notice it was a lack of any real regulation that destroyed the small ISPs and eliminated competition for the big incumbents. Essentially the CRTC failed to follow its own rules and approved every decision, however questionable, requested by the incumbents.
Liberals tend to support socialistic policies. They do not support allowing big businesses to do whatever they please.
Honestly libertarians drive me nuts. Like rapid ultra conservative Christians they dogmatically follow an ideology without thinking of the realities around them.
If it weren't for the independents sucking away votes from the Democrats, Bush wouldn't have been elected in the first place.
Can you imagine how much better off we'd be if Al Gore, the creator of the internet and a staunch supporter of environmentalism, had been elected President?
We'd all be driving in sub-20k EVs right now and connecting to 100mbit/sec internet connections at home. Extremely idealistic, I know, but you get the point. |
