- freejack 15y agoIIRC, there are only a few commissioners who don't come from Canada's media/telco industries. i.e. the commission is mostly populated by insiders from the industries that the CRTC purports to oversee and regulate. Fox, henhouse, etc. http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/about/commissioners.htm http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/about/commissioners.htm
- zmanji 15y agoThe question that I always have is, how can we find people who have the knowledge to regulate the telco industry but who have not worked in the telco industry in a large capacity before?

IT experts who've worked with the infrastructure. Lawyers in the industry who work for private law firms (biased, but less so probably). There are plenty of people who would be a better choice than someone who's worked for an incumbent player.
