Frank, I have an unfinished post on this subject.

Think of the bridge between demand and supply. Think variations on rentier capitalism from Wall Street to telco, powerco, commodityco, creditco and currencyco.

Think parasitic and non-productive.

Everybody wants to be on the bridge. Or, necessary to someone on the bridge.

From Smart Grid to derivatives and HFT
The bridge is the place to be.

Your example is only the tip of the iceberg.

Can't complete this stream at present. However as regards Canadian telecomms, expletive deleted. If anyone ever needed a demonstration of capitalism at its fumbling, antiquated, gouging worst, this would be it. It completely defeats the notion that business can be relied on to answer demand with good product at a fair price.

Canadian telecomms should be leading with nations like Sweden, South Korea, Japan and now Australia. Instead we produced a disgusting monopolistic failure.

Nuke it, just like the Aussies did.

Pardon my evasiveness.
