Re: Globe & Other 2011-44 (UBB) articlesA bit OT, but see how they handle Telecom monoploy in China: » news.xinhuanet.com/engli ··· 9134.htm>Revenues from China Telecom's broadband business come to around 50 billion yuan ($7.9 billion) a year while those of China Unicom are nearly 30 billion yuan, Li said, adding that the two companies would face penalties of up to 10 percent of their annual business revenues if they were found guilty of monopolistic practices. » news.xinhuanet.com/engli ··· 5213.htm>The NDRC, the country's top economic planner, said on Nov. 9 that it was investigating the two companies over suspected monopolistic practices in the broadband access business. >Li Qing, deputy head of the NDRC's price supervision and anti-monopoly department, said last month that China Telecom and China Unicom did not fully integrate their networks and, therefore, increased access costs and slowed down Internet speed>During the next five years, China Telecom will lower broadband service charges by around 35 percent for the public, the online statement said. Note the initial news was in Nov and it is only Dec when the monopolies cried uncle. We could use some arm twisting and competitions here in capitalistic Canada. |

» www.cbc.ca/news/technolo ··· ies.htmlTop tech stories in 2011. quote: But in Canada, the biggest tech story of the year was the controversy over usage-based internet billing, as judged by viewers' interest on CBCNews.ca.
It was a drama that quickly ramped up from where it left off in 2010, when the CRTC ruled that Bell could impose usage-based caps on small internet providers.
quote: January
Internet download limits slashed for many 5 technologies to watch at CES CRTC's internet billing decision appealed Reverse internet billing decision, Liberals say Internet usage costs to rise
Disclaimer: It is a silent victory for me to have my petition to GiC mentioned again and a pointer to the CBC article announcing my petition being part of the top tech stories of 2011. |

A bit OT, but here are rumors with the "new" mobile companies. » www.bloomberg.com/news/2 ··· ale.html>Globalive Communications Corp., a two-year-old Canadian wireless carrier, is in talks to buy Mobilicity, adding a competitor to take on larger rivals BCE Inc. (BCE) and Rogers Communications Inc., according to a person familiar with the discussions. >Cairo-based Orascom completed a $6.5 billion merger with VimpelCom in April to create the worlds sixth-biggest mobile phone operator. Orascom began talks with Public Mobile, another new Canadian entrant, in late 2010 about merging with Globalive, a second person said. So nothing official and only speculations... |

» www.montrealgazette.com/ ··· ory.html>A request from the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc.

On jfmezei's link:
>Update: A spokesperson for CNOC clarified that a request for a price review is not part of the complaint filed Wednesday. Only requests about the new models implementation were made in the submission. CNOC is considering a formal request to address pricing, the person said.
That is not in my Montreal Gazette one. |
