[Advisors] Affordable Internet Day of Action - March 16

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors. March 16 is the Affordable Internet Day of Action. 
Openmedia is holding many activities as part of this activity. TC has 
signed on along with many (if indeed most) other Canadian Internet 
advocacy groups. There is an online conference going on starting at 1pm. 
EST.

You can register for it here --https://affordable-internet.ca/

There are lots of interesting speakers. Unfortunately, I am already 
committed for almost the entire time, so probably won't manage to get to 
any of it. Anyone who does manage to find the time to participate, I 
hope you might share some of your thoughts on this at our next meeting 
(last week of March).

In the next e-mail I will forward a message I received from OpenMedia 
about the various other activities they have been organizing around this 
effort. It is a rather timely event, given today's announcement that 
Rogers is planning to take over Calgary based Shaw Cable, a move that 
would make Rogers Cable the second largest media company in Canada, next 
to Bell. This kind of corporate concentration in an essential industry 
like communications does not usually bode will for prices.
