Approaching the 10 year anniversary of when Bell, Rogers, and Telus joined forces in a smear campaign against Verizon.

It worked and Verizon pulled out from their proposed Canadian entry.

The site has been taken down but the internet archive has a good history of it.

Highlights include this open letter to the prime minister begging to not allow the competition.

Aged so beautifully ๐Ÿฅฐ

Isnโ€™t the fact that they are all on this letter a sign that they colluding?

[โ€“] Adderbox76 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. But it's a common misconception that "colluding" is illegal in all circumstances. It's not. There are unfortunately legal ways for corporations to coopoerate with one another on stuff like this.

It's called an Oligopoly and it happens literally all the time because the CRTC is feckless and weak.
