It's still 2006 at the CRTC

(UPDATED) The latest CRTC policy dedicated a half-dozen paragraphs to explaining why we can’t have nice things in Canada, and it’s because they are stuck in 2006 and convinced that their failed policies just need a little more time.

CRTC ruling is another loss for Canadians

The big decision is out, and it's not good for Canada. We break down why this ruling has nothing to do with MVNOs and everything to do with building more towers.
