Right. The Police.
You preach so much but know so very little. Wake up and understand that
companies like Bell and Rogers have other initiatives that need paying for.
Like 3G network rollouts.

...and undermining the companies that actually build the backbones for
Canada, so that we'll eventually be paying for these large companies to keep
their backbones competitive, before another foreign company comes in and
takes them away. Good job, Eric. Sheesh.

...and profit is the devil's tool. Heaven forbid anybody make any
profit...so that they can address future business and bring us up to speed
with other companies south of the border.
Eric, Apple makes a profit. Perhaps you should pick a non-profit computer
company as well. Perhaps you should get the police involved, solely because
you started a rant.
