Spike may be correct on this one. The CRTC could make a decision that benefits 99.9% of the Canadian population, but they likely won’t. Why? The other 0.1% pays too damn well, that why. It is the same old never ending story. There will never ever be a shortage of greedy opportunists in suits situated in lofty positions waiting and ready to cash in at a moments notice. Money equals power and power equals control, a fact which will never change so long as our society continues to embrace capitalism as a way of life. Freedom? Liberty? Morality? Sadly these ideals have become nothing more than illusions, a fact that at least for a few is becoming clearer and clearer with each new proposal that gets passed into law. Just look to the USA post 9/11 if you need examples.

Bell must need more time to bribe the CRTC. No other reason to delay such a common sense decision other than to figure out how to hand this one to Bell. I wonder what bullshit they will come up with for the reasoning behind their decision. This one is going to Bell, sadly. As much as I agree and protest that Bell’s claims are full of bullshit and lies, the CRTC is undoubtedly in their pockets and is never there for the better of Canadians. First, it should NOT take this long, especially since Bell still can’t prove their ‘claims’, and any claims they have made along with the ‘data’ that sides with them have all been debunked by everyone in the know. Secondly, the CRTC would of sided with the wholesalers on the injunction if they were willing to help us as this whole ordeal is costing providers like TekSavvy a lot of money. The longer the CRTC delays this, the more its going to cost wholesalers money. Bell has this one in the bag folks, the CRTC is only there for big industry, nothing else.

It’s not Sandvine, it’s Ellacoya, where Bell has a share.
