Lousy Report on Broadband in Canada

The evidence is overwhelming that Canadians are getting screwed by the industry providers of Broadband and Internet services. This is especially true of rural service. The cartel that controls Canadian broadband services is acting like OPEC more and more every day. And the CRTC has forsaken its duty to protect the public interest.

How independent is the staffing and management of the CRTC? Has the industry infiltrated it? I would like to see an independent study about the independence of the CRTC and who's interests they are really serving in some instances. People are starting to wonder.

    That's up to private industry to decide. The government has no moral or legal authority to interfere.

  2. Unfortunately for industry, Canadians own the spectrum that they operate in. Remember that industry is merely licensed tenants of a public resource!
