Telecom Trotskyites? If that's the best they can do, I would say we have little to fear.

Their story is obviously the TRUTH!!! It seems a shame that it is not possible to point out to the corporate dinosaurs that the issue is more complex than just protecting their right to rent-seek wherever they can get away with it. Consumers have rights too and the threat of mass law suits in Canada resulting from the abandonment of consumer rights is really unpalatable. When wealthy monopolies take consumers to court, consumers lose - either court costs, damages or both. Even the innocent cannot win. I, for one, do not want to pay for the cost of providing court venues for this kind of abuse.
