Awesome News. This gives me some faith that the government does in fact still listen to the people.

that article looks oddly written. The beginning without any quotes or references states the crtc has to rescind it on their own volition, or the cabinet will do it for them. Then when it gets into details it just rehashes the ultimatium the cons. released yesterday.

I think the Jury is still out on this one and its poor writing. Either way its look much better this week then other weeks.

Just heard this on CTV. Anyone not think an election is around the corner? It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

election is supposed to be called in house for march 31st as insiders are saying. so yes this is a key election issue as this is strategically being the key topic at hand since #UBB on twitter in the last 7 days has been the number 1 tweeted issue of all Canadians on twitter including politicians and industry.

here is the big big problem.

Can we trust the Minster of Industry and the Conservatives???
the minister said he will overrule and the CRTC must go back to the drawing board!?!? he didn't say he would overturn and kill the ruling altogether.
if this is the case the CRTC will go back to the drawing board with revised rules in place of UBB. we'll call it UBB plan B. which takes months well after an election has been decided.

so the bigger question now is...Which party will actually kill UBB and not vote to revise it.
