Yes, I saw her interviewed on TVO some time ago.  She is certainly 
challenging the status quo.  We need a  book like that about the 
Canadian telecom industry.

 If you
were going to look for ground zero in the fight against a rapidly
consolidating telecom and cable industry, you might end up on the fifth
floor of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York.
 Susan
Crawford, a professor at the school, has written a book, “Captive
Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded
Age,” that offers a calm but chilling state-of-play on the information
age in the United States. She is on a permanent campaign, speaking at
schools, conferences and companies — she was at Google last week — and
in front of Congress, asserting that the status quo has been great for
providers but an expensive mess for everyone else.
 Ms.
Crawford argues that the airwaves, the cable systems and even access to
the Internet itself have been overtaken by monopolists who resist
innovation and chronically overcharge consumers.
