[GTALUG] Re: Cheaper fibre internet could be on the way as CRTC finalizes wholesale rates

From: Evan Leibovitch via Talk <talk@lists.gtalug.org>

As someone who switched a few months ago from Teksavvy cable to EBOX fibre (the Bell flanker that was referenced) I shed no tears for the provider that I left.

The fact that there is no competition left is a very big problem for consumers. The CRTC decision is bad. Worse: the competition bureau has dropped the ball. Wires are a natural monopoly. The owneres of the wires should not be allowed to use vertical integration to make their monopolies dominant in so many allied businesses. Teksavvy and other ISPs ought to be viable. After all, that was the government policy.
