Former Liberal industry minister Navdeep Bains is joining Rogers as the company’s new chief corporate affairs officer, pushing critics to sound the alarm on a perceived politics-to-industry pipeline.

Rogers announced several new appointments to its executive leadership team on Thursday, including Bains and a former Shaw executive.

“This is a terrific opportunity to build on my commitment to champion critical issues facing both Canada and Canadians,” Bains said in a statement.

“It’s an exciting time to join the company and to work with Tony and the team to help grow the digital economy and deliver more choice, more value and more connectivity for consumers.” [...]

The crowdstrike thing reminds me of how a year or two ago, Rogers* service went down and took hundreds of banks and retailers with it plus probably hundreds of thousands of individual consumers using their phone and/or internet plans. I don't remember how widespread the issue was but it lasted several days iirc. Thankfully my phone is thru a different provider cause I lost my home internet but could still use my phone and cell data.

When are we gonna figure out how risky it is to let tech companies have such massive monopolies on vital services? No service is fault-proof and outages or other errors can be catastrophic when one company controls so many other services.

*one of like 2 or 3 major canadian telecommunications companies with a near-monopoly in the industry, for my non-canadian friends who don't know

According to the Prison Policy Initiative, the average cost of a 15-minute phone call from jail is around $3, and that doesn’t include any additional charges for setting up and funding the prepaid phone accounts used to make calls. The FCC has been working to crack down on these predatory costs for years and implemented a cap on prison calls in 2021, while individual states, including Connecticut and California, have made prison phone calls free of charge.

But the Martha Wright-Reed Act, named for a prison policy advocate who fought against exorbitant phone call fees, will give the FCC the authority to “ensure just and reasonable charges for telephone and advanced communications services in correctional and detention facilities.” The bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 and adds additional language to cover both phone and video calls. President Biden is expected to sign off on the legislation.

This is one of those little prison reform elements that sounds minor but is actually incredibly important.

Rogers is raising the price to call the U.S. without a long-distance plan to $1 per minute as of today, the latest instance of the slow creep of higher telecom costs. Rogers advised its customers of the increase via its website recently, noting that the price to call the U.S. would rise from 55 cents per minute to $1 as of April 19. There are many ways to avoid the charge, as Rogers offers a myriad of add-ons and plans that either include unlimited calling to the U.S. for a flat monthly fee, or value packs that bring the per-minute cost down to as little as five cents per minute. A spokesperson for Rogers told CBC News that for $7 a month, customers can slash the per-minute cost to more than 100 countries, and for $15 a month, they can get unlimited calling to the U.S.
