If only our highly efficient, uncorruptable and altruistic government officials got more involved, all our problems would be solved 
I mean, they sure handled the task of managing the USF with utmost efficiency, didn't they?
Giving the government more regulatory powers than the rather powerful ones they have already only makes lobbyists and political considerations more influential, not less. |

So basically our choices are two:
1. The presently unregulated will of our broadband overlords, or
2. The government policies created through the lobbying of our broadband overlords.
I guess I won't disagree with that, if that's your point. However, 2 is still better because we get neat little freedom monuments to visit.

I wonder if the average Canadian Joe public actually gives a flying #$@% that we're 27th of the 30 countries listed and that we're becoming a backwater technological dud?
Something tells me as long as they get their emails and can surf the web, it's all sunshine and lollipops for most of the populace. |

The average Canadian hates the incumbents with a passion. (Even present and former employees of said incumbents)
Although I doubt very many Canadians have read the report most are not happy with current day telecom, and would love increased competition in the market.
I would say the dissatisfaction is probably more acute in the cell phone biz than in the internet biz, but it's still there.
