The REAL problem with telecommunications in Canada USUALLY resides with the CRTC and it's demands on companies.
You think somebody wouldn't have jumped at the opportunity to offer the ability for customers to choose exactly what they want? That would be worth a friggin fortune. Between the CRTC and networks that own multiple channels and thus require bundling of their channels, it's impossible.
At the same time, I'm sure there is some under the table colluding going on ala the cell phone industry. We know dang well they collude when you look at their plans and they are almost identical. It's like an unspoken agreement to keep prices high. I know I won't personally have TV at my place because all I need is the internet. You're forced to get a billion channels just to get TSN/Sportsnets. I'm not going to pay $45 a month just to have live hockey.
