I probably want a follow-up when this is confirmed.
I want rural Ontarians and all Canadians to have good Internet, but I would like it to be without enriching someone cosplaying as a bond villain trying to overthrow the world.
I'd love it if people could get good internet without throwing up all that space junk. Elon's been dropping satellites on peoples heads lately, his orbital toasters are leaking so much radiation that they're ruining radio astronomy, and the satellite mesh has gotten dense enough that it's seriously imposing earthbound visual astronomy.
So that people can have Netflicks and porn.
Public, terrestrial internet infrastructure, or bust.
How does this work exactly? If I ripped up my credit card bill, the credit card company is still going to come after me for their money.
Starting to wonder if the rural folks should have the Internet at all. Seems they fall prey to misinformation at a much higher rate due to social exclusion and a lack of diverse opinions in close proximity.
I'm half joking... I think
need to add a large tax to these services, and then use that to fund municipal (not private) internet expansion.
Breaking up the Big 3 telecom giants would be almost as good as deeming internet and cell/telephone service a critical utility and taking a large portion over as Crown corps or provincially owned utilities.
