Last Friday's outage lasted more than 15 hours, affecting mobile and internet users, knocking out ATMs, shutting down the Interac payments system and preventing calls to 911 services in some Canadian cities.
After calling the outage "unacceptable," Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne directed the country’s major telecom companies to reach agreements on emergency roaming, assisting each other during outages and a communication protocol to better inform Canadians during emergencies. The telecommunications regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, is also investigating the Rogers outage.
Conservative MP and former industry critic Michelle Rempel Garner wrote to the committee last week requesting it hold an emergency meeting.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 15, 2022.
Another cover up. Heard enough about cyber attack, that what must be investigated. Rogers must be banned from expansion for at least 5 years & until they proves they can be trusted to protect customer's data & accessibility. Do you really understand what happened? FP_Champagne
Nothing will be done. 🤷♀️
The govt is dragging its feet because its primary purpose is to protect the interests of corporations & monopolies Public anger with Rogers is what's being managed now. Eventually, with help from the Rogers owned news media, the public will forget & the status quo protected
Ultimately Rogers is not the problem here. The one to investigate is the regulatory body that has allowed so many mergers as to put us in a state of virtual monopoly in so many sectors. Rogers has done what corporations do, our regulators though have failed us.
Posturing. Fake indignation. Put this mouthpiece up at the mics. Nothing whatsoever will even twitch. The monopoly runs the show. We all know.
Who cares at this point.
Let me save you $1 million : untested coding error. CEO said it.
It’s just a discussion to investigate, NOT an investigation!! 🤦🏻
Dern good idea!
Well that will solve the problem...lol... kinda like the thief investigating the theft....unless of course there is not one Liberal on the committee...and then it is a toss up.
Anybody think the Trudeau gov’t could get to the bottom of anything other than an expensive bottle of champagne?
Investigate trudeau that shot down the hole country industry and continu to do so !!
Russia and the Unvaccinated caused the outage.
