Re: Bell's words and demands said by resa1983:the 'market forces' (ie golfing) nonsense has finally gone out the window.
It's not "game" over yet. Matter of fact, Bell Canada paid for a CRTC VP at it's hockey "game" in Montreal.
The nonsense is far from over. It would take a corruption inquiry and investigation to even touch base on the "golfing" nonsense.
The proverbial Fat Lady hasn't sung yet. And in Kevin Crulls world, the Fat Lady is a guy student (*shiver*) who sings only when told to sing.  |

| From what I see Bell-Astral (their contract together to get this going) is extended till ~Dec 15 with another option for another extension till ~Jan 15.
So if something happens, it should happen the latest by Jan.
So the Fat Lady has a few months to wait while Bell and that CRTC Broadcasting VP take in a couple of more hockey games |

It's not public information was the response. |

In a way you have to laugh. They are saying they are putting the consumer first and make a bullshit hoopla out of a statement saying companies need to be more transparent.
Then they turn around and tell you, "It's a secret".
This CRTC isn't anything new. It's all smoke and mirrors with some bullsh*t PR and marketing tossed in. |

It's access to Information, FOIA is American.
And yes you can. 5 bucks I fill out a form and mail it (in this fucken day and age) and then I'll get a nay or yeah response. And if it's nay I can take it further. |

I would do it to prove a point... I've corresponded with the CRTC on multiple occasions and I've found they're fond of sending form letters and when questioned on their form answer I usually get "because we said so" so if you file an access to information request, you'll probably be making a point about their dismissiveness.

I hate weasels so I want to make sure my request is crystal clear.
I filled out the form and will send it off tomorrow, and in the section ask what information I'm seeking I wrote
quote:
I am seeking information on how the commisioners voted on CRTC decision 2012-574.
Is that clear enough?

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

If you have not already sent the letter, consider adding something to the effect:
"Supreme Court of Canada justices always have their votes reported to the public on matters which are both 'larger' and 'smaller' in nature than the Bell-Astral deal. The SCC justices don't hide their votes as it would reflect badly on the administration of justice. So too would withholding the results of CRTC votes on matters of great importance - both to the participants and the public at large.
Thanking you in advance for your new found transparency." |
