Big ISP wants to kill small ISP

Short version :

ISP Bullies want to shut down their competition, legally.

Long version :

Big ISP companies want to have absolute power over internet access.

Why?

To make more money, gain more power, and ultimately, take over the world.

Okay, maybe not the world.

Hey, I got an idea.

Lets make free enterprise and competition in capitalism a crime.

Lets make it a crime for people to offer better or equal services for less money.

Let any business that wants to destroy its competition do so. We don't really need 300 different candy bars.

We don't need any news except government approved news, right?

There is only one right religion which is [ insert religion ] . The other religions are all lies.

There is only one good bank which is [ insert bank ]. Legally eliminate the other banks.

Hey, we must eliminate all competition because we can't handle it.

It's too hard. It's too complicated.

The only ISP that is good is the biggest ISP.

If they get their way, there will only be ONE ISP.

If these dumb ISP's can't handle capitalism and competition, you should

sell your business to someone who can.

Well, I hope your hopes and dreams are not tied to a CRTC decision.

If you think dealing with Transport can be tough, you ought to try those guys.
