[governance] FW: In historic decision, CRTC rules that all Canadians must have access to reliable, world-class mobile and residential Internet

[willi uebelherr]

Dear Arsene, Parminder an all,

the Governments are a centralistic, mostly monopolised and hidden 
structure. They act only with money. This money comes from her local 
people or from external credits with the local people and resources as 
the pledge.

CRTC act for the extension for her private business in Canada. 
Independent, that they use really nonsensical terms like "digital 
economy", "modern life, "50/5 Mbs", "fair prices", the core is absolutly 
correct. The access for all people.

But we have to go deeper. The telecommunication is the base for our 
global cooperation. And the technical basics for this telecommunication 
is part of our global cooperation. The global telecommunication arise 
from the global interconnection of the local/regional interconnections.

This is the InterNet, the Inter-connection of local Net-works, a 
transportsystem for digital data in packetform. And we act in the 
direction, that the people in any region on our planet can organise 
itself. And this we can do in the space of our global cooperation.

i am sure, Arsene, based on your experience in Ghana, Parminder, based 
on your experience in India, know the situation today. Now the 
dependence, in that the people live. This state of complete loss of 
emancipation we must finish.

many greetings, willi
Asuncion, Paraguay
