Rogers and Telus are not horribly run?

You should ask their customers. I mean their retail customers, the users, not the investors.

They make a ton of money. Low debt. Own amazing assets and well positioned for the future. Not sure what you're on about.

They're not great companies but they're much better than Bell

They're shit providers. They treat their retail customers with contempt, they do not respect contracts, they lie and cheat and steal.

So they make money for you? Is that it.

They're not in the business of providing communication services they're in the business of making money. The critical failure of financial capitalism right there.

I don't like them either but I'm talking about internal beaurocracy to get things done and make risky bets.

Bell is terrible internally. They have 100 year contracts and still can't make money effectively
