1 edit | Fact checking Karl, if you did a bit of research, you'd note that 2 of 13 commissioners have telecom/cable work experience, with 1 person spending 2 decades at Rogers/Bell and the other coming from Saktel, a telco owned by and for the people of Saskatchewan.
What the CRTC has done will hurt consumers as it changes the price plans and heaver users will be gouged, so that was wrong. But blaming it on the CRTC being stocked with former Bell/Rogers execs is silly, there's only 1 of 13!
EDIT: these types of sensational accusation are all the same... Obama birthers and corporate conspiracy theorists have a lot in common. |

| Regardless of the number of ex execs, the CRTC has made some glaring blunders recently.
1. Allowing the throttling of wholesale customers. Those customers are purchasing a layer 2 circuit to the end user but are treated as white label resellers.
2. Telling Bell to make higher speeds available to 3rd parties and then letting Bell turn it around into a "no we won't and by the way we're implementing UBB for wholesalers on top of throttling"
These types of decisions scream gross incompetence or totally corrupt. You pick. |

| They suck at delivering their product, true. Their decisions aren't based on being best for the consumer and they protect Canadian businesses by preventing foreign competition.
I just think it's silly to say "this is happening because they're all ex telco execs". It's trying to de-legitimatize the CRTC based on a false accusation. It's just as insane and irrelevant as the accusations that Obama isn't American or that his programs are disguised reparations. It's useless slander. |

| False accusation?
I thought it was proven, using hard facts that are publicly available, that the CRTC was indeed ex-telco execs?
I wish I knew where that TSI thread was... |

You missed the one who was on the board of directors of a cable lobbying group.
Skimming commissioner bios on the CRTC website is rather superficial fact checking. |
