A statue of Edward S. Rogers Jr., Rogers Communication's founder, is seen as people walk on a sidewalk near the Rogers Centre after the Roger's service outage forced singer The Weeknd to postpone his concert.
Provinces need their own networks, ala SaskTel
The answer is never bigger government.
Just what da Führer Trudeau needs, more Fascist Powers over the lives of Canadians and more power for his WEF Masters!
Because users see a large number of cell companies, I suspect few ppl understand there are actually only 2 national networks: Rogers, and Telus/Bell. As the article points out, more retail operators will not address the core reliability problem.
Oui 😱
Rogers r evil
🇨🇦citizens with disabilities being culled. Do you care? Please read full thread, share.
Oversight - Yes, and a more robust network. External forces, both foreign and domestic, could easily bring Canada, and other countries, to its knees. But you didn't hear that from me 🤫
CBC you're fake news. All the customers that were screwed by Rogers needs to demand reimbursement for the service you payed for but didn't get.
Jagmeet definitely got a chub thinking about this
What it demonstrates is how dependent we are on two entities, Bell and Rogers. A foreign player to cripple us all they need to is take them both out at once. All it will take some lines of code and we’re ripe for the plucking.
No. That is what Trudeau wants. We need less regulations not more.
It demonstrates that champagne is a lousy minister who doesn't anticipate anything except where his next photo opp is
You misspelled nationalize
We also need more competition therefore the Rogers - Shaw deal MUST NOT BE APPROVED!
1st-delete the CRTC; 2nd-open up the market to competitors.
'Experts say tighter regulations 'foundational to the very operation of society'' How does that boot taste? 🤣😂
Well there it is Trudeau ceases the moment to take more control of anything to do with internet or telecommunications.
Wrong. It’s time for more competition. Governments shouldn’t be solving problems that can be solved by free markets. Also, don’t think government run healthcare doesn’t have reliability issues. More government doesn’t mean better. In fact it can be considerably worse.
Points to!?!? This is a five alarm fire of a national security issue. Not only can Rogers not be trusted, the entire upper echelon of the CRTC needs to sacked ASAP.
Regulations aren’t enough for critical infrastructure. Anything necessary for modern life should not be in the hands of corporations looking to make a profit. Rogers’ stinginess and greed will only lead to more catastrophic outages.
We obviously need a nationalized telecom company that provides badly needed standards and competition.
Note though it was also the agencies decision not to diversify the 911 service itself, in many of not all cases going with a single service provider
Lol the Government couldn’t manage their way out of a wet paper bag!
No It shows the need for alot more competition in the industry. Not just 2 providers..
Why did it happen Tell us why it happened!!
Start with DefundTheCBC
Yes more government is always the answer. Just take a look at the issues with getting a passport now. 😒
Yes! Just not Government Controlled!
Lmfao. 1. Regulations create oligopoly 2. Oligopoly's are fat and lazy 3. Something predictably fails 4. Lol need more regulation 5. Regulations create monopoly 6. Monopoly's are worse than before 7. Something predictably fails 8. Government takes over 9. Now nothing works
The last thing we need is a bigger government
The government is scared shitless of the com industry, no mater who is in power.
Oh I’m sorry, you think you need more government regulations? Hahahahahaha Trudeau thanks you for your service, libs.
Communism never works.
Any business or government agency relying on the internet that didn’t have a backup demonstrates bad continuity planning. Putting all your eggs in one basket is just bad And as for the general public, oh well one day no internet. How did we survive storms, power outages…
Emergency roaming a a good first step. Next, the Government may want to look to the Australian model. More competition and cheaper for consumers
More competition, bring in American suppliers too !!
Not just that. We need far more competition.
Regulation is the problem not the solution.
This liberal_party government under JustinTrudeau can’t supply healthcare, can’t supply drinking water, can’t supply passports, can’t sort out any crisis they face but yeah they are going to fix a problem they have also ignored, ok. Folks you can’t even make this stuff up.
No.
Nationalize telecommunications
In the US, the CEO would be hauled up in front of Congress and grilled. In Canada, we are expected to believe what went on behind closed doors with the Minister. AND there is no Federal Trade Commission-type body with teeth that can deny mergers due to 'anti-competition.'
Class action lawsuit against Rogers now!
Let's start by regulating the media
No no no! “De-regulate”
Because government regulation makes everything better 🤡
