It’s kinda funny.
It’s kinda funny that your site started going up and down as soon as you posted about the new Net Neutrality “rules”.
Now along with my comment above, I ask a question/observation. Every time Bell signs a “roaming deal” or something like that, with another company…That company gets bought out by Bell. Like Bell & Telus for TV services, Bell will most likely publicly acquire Telus in 2011, and then there was that deal signed with Bell and AT&T USA [I’ve long known that Bell has had it’s eyes on AT&T Worldwide] for mobile roaming in Canada and the US. This is where I am getting to my point. The Source [Bell] Electronics is now selling AT&T branded phones, which to me, signals a buy out verrrrry soon. Just wondering if you were aware of it. Bell has been very busy busying up companies recently [BellAliant (HA! and Bell got kicked out of the Atlantic provinces), British Telecom (Hush hush, not completely done yet), and Barbados Tel] I know I am rambling, but I am trying to get this information out there, as most of the time, when I do, no one believes it…until it’s too late. Thank you for your time đ
