Nationalise phone and internet.
Saskatchewan has a crown corp that leases out their airwaves and copper and fibre in the ground, what do the big three have to be sacred of? Oh competition, do duoplies hate the idea of letting knew people into the market.
Saskatchewan also has the cheapest cell phone rates in the country
This is the only good option
Then they lose market share. Do it and let’s see.
Internet should be a public utility, not having access to affordable,reliable internet is one of the drivers of inequality and should not be left to corporations acting on the profit motive.
They don’t invest, they take tax payer funded subsidies and then bill us for the pleasure.
The big three trying to hold us hostage to gain more government dollars is par for the course. Assholes gotta asshole I guess.
Maybe it’s time to cut them off at their knees.
Don’t negotiate with terrorists!
Everyone must switch to Sasktel, Freedom, TBayTel, Sogetel, Ice, Cogeco, Videotron and Eastlink.
Also Teksavvy!
Any plan that starts with “If everyone can just…” is doomed to fail. This needs legislation and at least the threat of nationalisation if not the act.
Been on Sasktel all my life, started getting more actively involved in politics when Wall wanted to sell 49% (or 51% I don’t remember) of Sasktel as a trial run or whatever the heck he called it.
I don’t see how 51% could be a trial of anything as they’d lose control. 49% you could see how pressure from investors harms the company though and could painfully be walked back from. Terrible idea though.
They were considering selling 49%, but the percentage is meaningless without looking at the articles, the bylaws, and resolutions. A lot of corporations make things more strict than the Bus Corp. act. You can always make things more strict, you can’t make them more lax.
In fact, some things require a “Special Resolution” which is 2/3rds.
BUT, that can mean 2/3 of the shareholders who show up, as long as enough people show up to make a quorum.
And a quorum can be as small as 1 person, again, depending on the Articles, bylaws, and resolutions.If you feel like learning about the Saskatchewan Business Corporations act, here is it:
