  @DouglasPollitt While I 💯 agree there is a ton of anti-competition stuff, I haven’t been able pin down what says they HAVE TO report scores. Does CBC? Local news? Do newspapers? (it bugs me that OS didn’t prove their case by getting on Cogeco, SaskTel, Videotron etc. Would’ve been faster)

  @nationalpost @financialpost Sinking billions of our tax dollars into a bubble just before it bursts isn't what Canadians want, take that money and create a public telecom like SaskTel to give Canadians a better option than the high priced garbage we get from the big 3.

  @JBMcAdams @SaskTel At our farm by Churchbridge, we are at a complete dead spot for cell service. Have to keep our landline for this reason, and StarLink is the only internet provider that actually gets a signal.

  @cselley There does exist in several iterations, what he describes. Co-op is an example, higher per item price with an equitable profit share There is Sasktel as a government owned service provider. Less customer service, higher prices, zero profit motivation.

  @tammyrobert Wait, what? SaskTel should be in SERIOUS trouble over this. I remember back in 2019 dealing with SaskTel because my sister was paying my cellphone bill. I wanted her to be able to have access to my account, so I asked SaskTel how to go about it. (1/2)

  @alexmarz @SaskTel @Telesat That's what I expect from someone living in a city who is not using Rural internet Providers! As an IT & Cybersecurity Company that supports travel and works across Canada there is nothing as easy and that works as well as Starlink. From Africa to Canada! There are ways to secure data beyond your ISP, if people are not using that they should be. Telesat has been promising their solution for 5 years now, 4 Billion in Taxpayers money and still no testing. Amazon Leo is testing but is also US based.

  @DemosKratosCA SaskTel outcompetes the big telcos, and pays the profits to the government. Though I'm Albertan. I spend a lot of time in Saskatchewan, people here seem pretty satisfied with SGI and SaskPower as well, even though they are monopolies, unlike SaskTel. Government run isn't always bad, just usually.

  @ExnerPirot @JeffCallaway Sasktel is a terrible example. A government monopoly more wasteful and less accountable than a private regulated option.

  This is a terrible decision for Canadian privacy and internet sovereignty. @sasktel should wait for @Telesat #skpoli
