#crtc — Public Fediverse posts

In an extremely rare event, I supported Bell Canada in some #CRTC file about them adding fees for the privilege of buying a phone from them.

They didn't even acknowledge they had support from me. As if I were transparent, dead, non-existent. !

(Though I did blast them to smithereens for charging hundreds more per phhone than suggested retail price).

#CRTC ubveiled today changed to the Internet Code.

@andykm In the past, GAS and HSA were wholesale service, with HSA being the non-PPPOE version. Tacit then inulaterally started calling all wholesale "HSA" and over time, this was forced-accepted.

Now, in today's filing he uses "AWHSA-FTTP" . Why does he insist on alsways changing acronyms?
