And in Canada...
...the prices will be worse. But we can solve it by complete deregulation! It's the regulation that's standing in the way of the monopolies lowering thier prices, or so they are constantly telling me. Allowing our two largest telecoms companies to merge into Bellus, which they have functionally done anyways regardless of what the government says, is apparently the answer to our woes. It’s also critically important to block a fourth carrier from being allowed to set up in Canada, otherwise “the competitive landscape will be disrupted, and consumers will suffer.”
So how come the UK does better? I thought competition in the telecommunications space was a) impossible unless you completely deregulated, and b) a bad thing anyways, because a deregulated monopoly is good for the consumer!
*sob*
Oh, Canada…you are following the Americans down the wrong rabbit hole…
