Last time I checked, telcos weren't run by the government here. We have the CRTC, but I think their problems have more to do with nepotism than socialism.
I agree with your premise, but it doesn't really help your credibility to blame everything on socialism. Protectionism, maybe. |

The mentality pervades for one. Second the government controls the spectrum and although it is trying to increase competition it fails. The main reason why we dont have proper competition IMO is the ownership rules that prevent major foreign carriers and companies from operating without a Canadian parent company. Virgins failure is a good example of this. Yes they are still virgin but is it telus or rogers that owns it now?
Government interference is rarely a good thing in the long run |

Throttling? What's that? I've said it once, I will say it again.
Acanac + SSH tunnel = full speed torrents. |
