Just look at their latest decision against indy ISPs reselling Bell 
service. Good chance there /won't be/ any competition for the consumer's 
business anymore after it goes into effect in November.

The CRTC is nothing more than a rubber stamp for Bell and Rogers these 
days. Fix or dissolve, I don't really care any more. They're worse than 
useless.
