The people of St. John's Metro and larger regional centres are inundated with bundles.
How does one get a bundle if they use one company for telephone and then need another for highspeed?
What about those who want the Aliant connection as they have always had for their telephone - however Aliant only has dialup in the area?
Rural initiatives? Forced choice? Surely it is not equal access right?
Danny, Dean, and Brian Flip this Utility.
Still is a "Solid Gold" idea - right?
Make it expensive, make it confusing, make it political, make the system unstable.
Somebody is getting rich and you are paying the tab.

Minister Susan Sullivan takes on Broadband - Good Luck with That
Yes let's try again Minister Susan Sullivan says of Rural Broadband access.
Let's do something local hey?
So when Tobin is in power he turns contracts over to Cable Atlantic then owned by Danny Williams - who then almost immediately flipped it to Rogers. (local argument gone)
Then Williams comes to power and gives Persona then owned by Dean Macdonald many millions for a new fibre-optic line. Macdonald then flips almost immediately flipped it to East Link (local argument gone).
In the meantime Newfoundland Tel (Aliant) is the loser in both scenarios - and as a result backs away from continued investment in the province.
You see we are a limited population - there is no room for two or three players. If you bring competition into an underpopulated area - you lose the main service provider. It would be the same if the government decided to let another power distributor in to compete against Fortis. The dollars available to be made would be reduced and investment commitments would be lost.
I know we are creating a lot of millionaires - without any real plan to deal with these communications issues.
What a bloody mess, Minister Sullivan - and the lack of infrastructure and investment is starting to show. Wait till the poles have to be dealt with. Wait until the systems fail without proper investment in maintenance.
Meanwhile - business and tourism will continue to stall without a proper plan.
The government says this time the RBI will be better than the GBI (government broadband initiative) - really Minister Sullivan - and you guarantee this how?
Lit and unlit were the terms then Minister of Duct Tape Trevor Taylor used during the GBI fiasco. No control of funds. Complete mess according to the Auditor General John Noseworthy.
What Tory business faithful have their hands out now?
By the way Minister Sullivan - why do the hospitals in the metro area use a SASKATCHEWAN CROWN corporation to provide cable TV to our patients?
