I had a feeling we’d see something.
Since the Wind Mobile guy gave them a vocal ass whooping I had a feeling the government would react in some way. It made them look really bad having a billionaire investor publicly regret investing in Canada. No doubt they feared it would cause others to reconsider investing as well, not just in telecom, and I think it’s a valid fear.
I am happy that he stated his case.
Wouldn’t it be good for the Government actually listened to what we want ?
The Gov’ has been talking about this for ages, for goodness sake just do something.
