The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has a released a book on the telecommunications policy in Canada: “For Sale to the Highest Bidder: Telecom Policy in Canada“.
“More than ever before, we depend on telecommunications services to conduct our economic, cultural and social lives. But, after 100 years of managing and controlling this industry to safeguard the interests of all Canadians, recent government decisions are leading us to a communications future that doesn’t include us all. Canadian interests in this vital sector are being traded off in the name of deregulation and harmonization. Whether it is about access or affordability, security or sovereignty, the essays in this book will be a wake-up call to anyone wondering how telecommunications policy affects our daily lives.”
