Canada Splits Local Phone, DSL Services

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday July 21, 2003 @07:07AM from the one-or-the-other-not-both dept.

s20451 writes "Running counter to the recent string of pro-consolidation FCC rulings in the United States, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has ruled that big Telcos like Bell and Telus must offer ADSL service even when local phone service is provided by another company. Effectively this ruling splits local phone and net services, opening both up for competition and lower prices. Press release here."

Just for the sake of argument, why would I _not_ want to move to Canada?

One word....Chretien.

Our current Prime Minister is a complete embarrassment on the international stage. Wait until
after February 2004 and then move here. Other than
him, everything is great!
