[GTALUG] Ontario Bill 72: "Right to Repair"

[Alvin Starr]

A while back I took my ASUS phone to ASUS to see about repair.

Repairing the phone was going to cost me about 2/3 the cost of a new 
ASUS phone.

Not like the repair of a 20,000 car where the repair cost runs from a 
few hundred to a few thousand.

I think the right of repair is a good idea but I am not sure now many 
highly integrated products are amenable to cost effective repair.
