They forgot to mention that they also own a quarter of the New York Yankees, and a crummy basketball team.

BCE under investigation for anti-competitve behaviour already…
Bell may have to face Competition Bureau first, anyway.

Silver linings …
As I refuse to purchase Bell, MPAA, RIAA, CRIA properties because of their anti-consumer practices, I am limited to enjoying all the wonderful independent artists I have discovered and now support 😀

Love the graphic
Reminiscent of the “Telco-ADSL” graphic, but illustrates the point brilliantly.
