This presentation should just be heard by some committee. Its indictment of three major aspects of the Canadian internet - wireless, broadband, and net neutrality - should be nailed to the front door of Parliament. "All these issues are connected. They reflect a Canadian telecommunications environment that is in crisis, lacking in competition and gradually declining in comparison with peer countries around the world." I don't think lack of competition is the problem - you could add more competitors, but they would just collude. It's a lack of regulation that allows the private providers to charge as much as it can while doing nothing to extend the infrastructure.
