The government has been propping up the oligopoly and anti-competitive environment. Basically making it impossible to compete against them.
So now we have bell, rogers, telus, and cogeco dividing territories. If you're lucky you get more than 1 option but that's generally untrue.
Totally agree this should be reverted. We need to drop all these regulations which are making thispossible.
>The question is how. Some critics were quick to point out that we need more ISP diversity and competition, but I think that's missing the point. Others have suggested that the internet should be a public good or even straight out nationalized.
Literally nobody thinks it should be nationalized. The government is the one at fault here and the government coming in with a trillion $ and emininant domain to seize private property is the dumbest thing I've heard in years. The government can't even seize firearms like they wish to do. Good luck seizing rogers and bell. Tons of shareholders would be expecting huge$ that canada clearly doesnt have.
There's no reason to continue responding any further. Canada doesnt have a trillion $ sitting around to do any of this proposal.
