They do react when votes are threatened, when Bell and Rogers tried to bring in Usage Based Billing, everyone cared about it, and the Tories could sniff the political winds.... (and then they intervened to forbid UBB, for not Canadians who didnt follow these events) A political campaign will have a big effect, since the Tories arent going to do anything unpopular, they arent that courageous The CRTC doesnt serve Canadians, the wolves are looking after the sheep, it needs to be shook up, if that means bringing it to the ministerial level, that might be what it takes. Some countries have a minister to look after telecommunications. If it was a more politicized thing, then it would be more responsive to voters, and less a clique of ex-employees of telcos trying to keep things cozy for their favourite pets, a minister working on his career will be more motivated to present progressive consumer-friendly reforms.
