That sounds, well, sketchy. The wireless industry is regulated <i>exactly</i> how he wants it. Which is not at all. Heck, his deregulation agenda has even got his co-Parliamentarians scared. Which is why the House of Commons Committee on Industry, etc., went to war against his ongoing deregulation orders by fiat. Oh, petitions, letter-writing campaigns, etc. sound great. But if someone out there actually wants to do something about this, they should put together a good application to the body that regulates this stuff -- you know, the CRTC -- making cogent arguments as to why it regulates mobile data prices. You know, kind of like a court case. So far, noone ever has. Uh, write to Bernier? That sounds, well, sketchy. The wireless industry is regulated exactly how he wants it. Which is not at all.
