The orange and the blue portions need to be larger.

    Do the same for telecoms now.

    I wish people would act the same way about telecom like they currently are with grocery…i get beyond pissed when they come to my door to sell services when EVERY other company is legally banned from door to door sales.

      Telecoms are slightly more complicated in that to do so you have to nationalize the base infrastructure and then let mvnos compete on top, there’s no economically viable way of building out 10 parallel physical telecom networks here.

        Isn’t it really strange that our phone/internet infrastructure is privately owned, anyway? How many major highways can you think of that are privately owned? Maybe this is just my prairie perspective speaking, but I can’t think of any.

      I will make a graph for one! I will post it in c/boycotthebigthree

      You can boycott Rogers,Bell and Telus by switching to Lüm mobile, Sasktel, Freedom, Fizz, Videotron, Eastlink, Ecotel, Execulink, Ice, Nexicom, Sogetel, TBayTel, K-net mobile.

      Do you have a source for the ban on the door to door sales for the smaller companies? I can’t believe we allowed our politicians to enact that.
