@EdwardSRogers firing Masai Ujiri is a small man costing Toronto a giant! #masai

politicians and lobbyists combine to make a mess. trying to subsidize bell and rogers backfires but sadly hurts small, local media even worse. @CRTCeng static1.squarespace.com/static/6450265…

In the next episode of competition theatre.........au.finance.yahoo.com/news/crtc-deci… @CRTCeng @mgeist and these are the rates that only "facilities-based carriers" have access to. Not real MVNOs like us *shrug*

competition theatre continues in Canada. amazing how the CRTC can let this joke continue. I look forward to Quebecor launching and being able to save $5/month on the most expensive phone rates in the world so we can move from worst to.......worst! @CRTCeng itworldcanada.com/article/bell-a…

this is government-backed extortion. amazing what the @CRTCeng will do for ROBELUS arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

This is WRONG. Threat from disinfo actors (🇨🇳,🇷🇺,🇮🇷, etc.) is MUCH greater than from Western state actors. Limits talked of here are correct, but the MUCH greater threat, which signatories are often used as tools by, is misinfo. #Westminsterdeclaration michaelnayna.com/p/the-westmins…

The Canadian government is successful in having Canadians consume less news, particularly domestic news. 🤷‍♂️ reuters.com/technology/met… Regulators, please get your heads out of the ass of Bell/Rogers. you subsidize them while we pay highest telecom prices in the world

I am no policy fan of meta but....."meta demands canada drop stupid law with obvious negative consequences" reuters.com/technology/can… @PascaleStOnge_ @pablorodriguez

Canadian competition theatre continues commsupdate.com/articles/2023/… . "Please negotiate with our hand-picked insiders so we can all claim we have introduced competition". As US mobile prices continue to tumble it is just more and more ridiculous. @CRTCeng

@sama Sadly we are nowhere near 3. All of web3 focus on tech and hand wave "votes" as participatory. Global governance structures need to be completely re-thought. Please @sama hire some brilliant public policy minds who understand the difference between global and international!

things we need for a good AGI future: 1) the technical ability to align a superintelligence 2) sufficient coordination among most of the leading AGI efforts 3) an effective global regulatory framework including democratic governance

Canadian telecom policy = "wave arms around and make pronouncements" feel good about it and then have ZERO enforcement. What a joke @CRTCeng

here we go again. I can book my hotel room for ottawa for 18 months from now and get the suit out of the mothballs so I can say the same things and have the same result "MVNOs are great! But not quite and not yet......". What a joke @CRTCeng ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/federal-t…

@LastMileFiber but we want to be as transparent as possible. it is how we operate. we are an Internet company and that is comfortable for us. less so for our competitors. fiber is a GREAT investment. the more we can help shareholders see that, the easier my job is.

@LastMileFiber and we never think of our shareholders as greedy or think of clear disclosure as "bending the knee". we are public, unlike our competitors. that has benefits, mostly for employees and shareholders, but a real "cost" in disclosure (lots of effort, lots of info for competitors)

$tcx in the video they release this Q, I’d like to see them articulate fiber economics in a very simple way. HS video was over complicated. Some thoughts and again very simply 1) what it takes to scale a market 2) progression of what happens w the economics as u scale.

@LastMileFiber yep. we agree. some of this will be in the Q/A and a lot of detail at the investor day. you may need to decloak and attend! :-)

$TCX HOPE they are willing to pull back curtain a little bit 2 show what this puppys got under the hood. Wishlist: 1) Describe in real detail w numbers, %s, line item specifics what happens if u STOP all passing Capex. 2) Talk simply in terms of cash PnL n then relate to IS & CFS

What a perfect way to appear to generate competition while ensuring that the Canadian telecom oligopoly remains intact. highest prices in the world for the win! YUCK @CRTCeng quebecor.com/en/-/rogers-sh…

This is wild! reddit.com/r/ukraine/comm…

@woodyatpch This is a solid analysis. ICANN should not do this. AND what CAN ICANN do? We have constraints. The sanctity of the DNS and the Open Internet. The inarguably asymmetric use of it for disinformation. Oh and dealing with pointers not content! 🤔 #Ukraine #ICANN

Not yet posted to the ICANN correspondence page, but this is a heck of an ask on the part of #Ukraine. As a critical infrastructure operator, my inclination is to say "heck no" regardless of my sympathies. pastebin.com/DLbmYahS
