Re: It's sad... said by Romney2012:said by Guspaz:I used to brag to my American friends about the great broadband industry that we had in Canada, about how we could get fast speeds at great prices. Since then, the CRTC has allowed the US to fly past us into the distance while we're stuck watching helplessly as our internet bills are about to double. You are in the mess you are in because of PAST CRTC policies that inhibited innovation and a ROI for coming out with enhanced infrastructure. CLECs and independent ISPs are the enemies of innovation. They drag down the profits of the companies that BUILT the infrastructure. Maybe if the CRTC was more like the US FCC in the past, companies in Canada would have invested in the improvement of the infrastructure. WoW, haven't heard such extreme capitalist propaganda in a while ! Thanks for that, it made me lol this morning.
No but seriously, the big Bell company built its network with heavy subsidy from the Canadian government, thus from us, canadians. Don't come and insult my intelligence by telling me that we should kill the small ISPs that are trying to bring competition and lower prices to market and we should instead bend over to Bell and their monopolistic prices and practises. Thank GOD the CRTC had some sort of semi good intentions in the begging for forcing Bell to sell the GAS access for their DSL service to third parties, otherwise we would be worse then we are now.
I agree that the CRTC has recently acted in the interests of Bell and not of the canadian consumers. This is bad, but it's not a reason to dismantle them.

Adi The petition is to dismantle AND REPLACE them. You who would change ISP's over a $4.00 month charge surprise me with not wanting to replace them. |

| Actually, yes i DO want to replace them. My comment was objecting to just simply getting rid of the CRTC and "letting the market decide" as golfsun was saying.
