press releases

What a load of useless press releases. Must be getting paid by the word. Should be talking about why the stock is tanking. GLTA

[Freezerburn]

It's tanking because the CRTC is imposing price controls.

[corvette67]

If that was the only reason, telus and rogers would be down about the same. GLTA

The CRTC price control will never work. In the short term it will benefit the small businesses that do not need to invest in infrastructure. However, as the big businesses continue to reduce their spending and workforce, who will build the infrastructure? It requires constant investment and maintenance. Will the CRTC (government) take over? Government has proven that it cannot do anything

......It requires constant investment and maintenance.... You got that right. lol . In 30 years living on crescent endless emergency services calls are happening. Every time there they do a little construction like changing a small section of concrete,replacing grass etc cables are being busted. Multiple crews coming the first one pulling the cables over the trees ( like in third world countries

Since Bell is the largest telecomunications company in Canada, they stand to lose the most with the CRTC decision pending "government" revue. This from today's Globe and Mail: "The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that in August, the CRTC introduced sweeping regulatory changes, allowing major incumbents to access each other's fibre networks for the first time.

"If passed there will nit be any more investment in infrastructure from the big 3 without positive return." Yup, that about says it--who's going to invest in future returns on investment if they won't be any.

With government interference large telco lay off higher saleried employees and the smaller telcos hire them for 40% less, does nothing to help gdp. Canadians families ability to buy homes,pay bills and groceries but government think they are protecting them so they come up with another failed program , and on and on it goes.
