Overregulation. Source, I work in telecom in Canada.
- loceng 3y agoAnd now all telecom companies are required to interconnect, right? Or did that not happen? The government mandated that after the "Rogers outage" - so that other providers can act as "backups", so "that never happens again."
- betaby 3y ago> And now all telecom companies are required to interconnect, right? No. That's not the case at all. > so that other providers can act as "backups", so "that never happens again." Also, no. Also what do you mean by interconnect? BGP IP peering is a thing for a while. Big folks peer with big folks.

Are you aware of this?
- kazinator 3y agoWhen there is only "telecom" and not "telecoms", Ottawa will have to rephrase that.

- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoEven mainland china's ISPs are not entirely monolithic.
- loceng 3y agoAnd so this has to be done on a technical level in Canada to have the same capacity as the social oversight of CCP personnel being firmly embedded in each ISP on mainland China, right?
- protocolture 3y agoReally? I found Canada one of the least regulated. Although there were a few weird hoops. Out of ~10 countries I have supported WISP's in, I have never seen a country with less of a barrier to entry. We did have a theory that our customers were rural, and that the cities might present different issues. But trying to do what they did in Australia would be add 2 zeroes to the end of every cost.
