As a Canadian it makes me elated to see one of our big broadcasting oligopolies take a hit. What caught my eye was : >Undeterred, Ramsay filed a complaint with the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (the CCTS), a moderator between customers and telecom providers. >In a lengthy email exchange, a spokesperson for the CCTS insisted that Bell had the right to increase prices and since the telecom had notified Ramsay of this fact — as well as an upcoming price increase — it ruled that the telecom provider met its obligations and no further investigation was warranted. CCTS is a part of hte CRTC here in Canada which is a government institution that's supposed to regulate broadcasting and telecom in order to protect Canadian customers. In recent years, they've helped broadcasters fix prices by having them meet and agree on base prices. They've also made prices more expensive for Canadians by working to keep out foreign competition and limit internal competition. In the one instance where it was asked to actually protect a customer against clearly illegal behavior - they didn't seem to care at all, demonstrating that the CTRC is a taxpayer funded entity here to help the telecom giants and not the taxpayers who fund them.
