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.
Caution: Stock jockey at work!
