Also, you first say the CRTC is not a regulator of wireless services, but then go on to refer to it as a regulator. If it is not regulating wireless, then maybe it should be: perhaps then I could see reason to not denigrate it so much.

Maybe you’re right in the sense that abolishing the CRTC is a bad idea (though there is a lot more I don’t agree with them on) but perhaps they need to step up and understand the concerns of everyday Canadians. Or perhaps, we need a regulatory body that is ACTUALLY concerned with communications in this country, unlike the CRTC.

Please. The CRTC does not regulate wireless. Never has.

And this is where it’s gotten us. Sameer, first you say you want to enforce net neutrality and lower wireless data rates, but then you say you want to get rid of a regulator.

If not the CRTC, what exactly do you have in mind — a roving band of thugs to enforce your will? Having everyone get on their hands and knees to ask really, really nicely?

One of the things I’ve learned is that those who talk about getting rid of the CRTC need to sit down and think about it a bit more, because they haven’t, yet. If you really want to see the things happen that you say you want to happen, you should be out there intervening before the CRTC and trying to get it to be more, not less, pro-active in the judgements it renders.

Cheers mate!
