On a similar topic, these consumer-activists screwed people over by encouraging mandated domestic roaming for wireless, giving an advantage to smaller carriers like Wind and Mobilicity (at the time.)

Because of this, carriers are no longer providing subsidies on handsets and more so, they have no reason to further build and expand their network infrastructure, because why put in the capital investment when you can use your competitor's sites? So much for Canadian growth and innovation.

A big thanks for nothing to consumer-activists and the CRTC.
