- apotheon 17y agoWho's crazy enough to try to compete with the government on something like that? As long as the government looks likely to do it, private efforts probably aren't going to happen -- unless it turns out that there's strong public dislike for the government version. Now that government appears to have bowed out of the market niche, there's a possibility that private efforts might move forward. Of you're a Canadian with entrepreneurial spirit of your own, maybe you should look into making something like this happen before someone beats you to it (or even before some major telco manages to create a biased version of this and manages to convince people it's objective "enough").
