— At the beginning of September, I received this email from Rogers. No public debate or input, no prior information campaign, no democratic decision. This, in spite of health and privacy concerns, as well as many unanswered questions about this new technology. And who needs it, anyway? I am OK with my current networking capability. Here is the email from Rogers:
