there is no nuance. Bill C-18 want you to pay to link to something. It’s a piece of legislation written by an industry that can’t figure out how it can work and instead want to be subsidized.

Facebook and Google have the power to stop linking to them. Because that linking IS driving trafic it WILL have an effect.

Two guys running a server will be next. Don’t you worry.

Guilbeault spewed the same garbage when he was in that seat. Like bullet points from the industry that bought them out.

The word you are looking for is “telecartel”.

Bring it on !

Like no one told this would happen.

ah yeh Cogeco gobbling smaller ones. Didn’t ShawGers want to buy them at one point?

the only turnmoil is the TPIA. When the wholesale rate (regulated by the CRTC) is higher than the retail rate…

But the corruption of our Government[1] is right in our face.

[1] it’s corruption, not incompetent. Also it is pan-partisan. Whichever would be at the helm would be paid for by the telecartel.

I concur. It’s terrible. Super terrible. And with the whole TPIA stone walling it’s even worse.

Ah yeah that really suck.

Municipal network? Look at Toronto. CIty council wanted to create a network to service area where the cartel wouldn’t service. The whole thing was vetoed by Rogers Director (member of the board) Mayor John Tory.
