Apparently Bell can't tell a MB from a hole in it's head!

Showing usage 50-200% higher than actual usage is, well, actually not suprising at all from those wretched vile scum.

Although federal Industry Minister Tony Clement said last Wednesday the government would order the CRTC to re-examine its decision on UBB, von Finckenstein told MPs on Thursday the commission was already planning to review the ruling before Clement ordered the organization to do so.

Yeah, sure I believe you Mr. von Finck!

that's why i don't understand how the internet managed to fall under the CRTC's mandate. It has nothing to do with terrestrial radio frequency and transmission protection. The closest it would come to radio problems is municipal wifi and that sort of thing.
