Re: Major CRTC decision next week. - CBB

And your solution to this issue would be....

The current situation in Canada wouldn't be bad if CRTC had teeth. Had their decision last week been what we have expected, we would have a pretty good situation now in Canada. We lost the opportunity here, but we might have another one in a year or two. Look how Rogers and Bell reacted when they got scared of CRTC - they offered unlimited packages! So that means they can offer good packages and still turn profit. And that means this is the best way to go in Canada - through government regulation.
This is the model that works well in Europe.

It would be nice to have a CRTC made up of Information specialist and impartial technocrats with knowledge & experience running the various segments addressed by the CRTC without a vertically integrated incumbent or special interest incumbent sponsored lobbygroup involvement. Yes. Will we ever see that in our lifetimes, the magic 8 ball says NO.
