Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.

On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that itโ€™s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.

Exactly! And if you don't like the idea of having a state-owned telco, we could leave the infrastructure only to the state-owned company, and open access to all incumbents, same rate for everyone. While we're there, we should just have the same with broadband: a state owned company deploys fiber. All ISP access it at the same rate.

No more complaining they need to make hundreds of % of margin otherwise they can't invest, and even then they can't invest if the government doesn't heavily subsidize the network.
