#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).

@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?

Broadcast Participation Fund paid more than $500K to CMAC and #LaithMarouf supporting spewing hate.

The people who gave #LaithMarouf $500K say "Lack of funding jeopardizes Canada’s Broadcasting Participation Fund" http://bpf-fpr.ca/en/press/BPF%20press%20release_%20FPR%20communique%CC%81%20de%20presse.pdf

If only BPF hadn't thrown half a million dollars at a known purveyor of hate.

Guess it bit them in the butt
