Too much TV now being blamed for infrastructure woes
Too much TV now being blamed for infrastructure woes

TORONTO -- Next time you lose a cup of coffee thanks to a pothole the size of an elephant’s footprint, just be thankful for that HD television at home.
If you don’t have HD, then a new report from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), might trouble you a little more than someone who owns a good sized flat screen TV.
The report, “Highway Robbery: How Federal Telecom Rules Cost Taxpayers and Damage Public Roads,” describes a federal regulatory regime that has deprived local governments of the power to recover road management and repair costs from telecom companies that tear up and occupy roadways to expand, upgrade and operate their networks.

Who will foot the bill if the telecoms say, screw it...install your own system.

The tax payer.

If you want it, you have to pay for it. On one end or the other.
