Soooo pissed off at the cable co’s. So I’ve switched.
Also contacting lawyers about removing all (cable) wires and boxes from my property and urging my friends to do the same.
They have one month to remove them or I will.
I hope they like thier crackers.
I would do the same to Bell but unfortunately my Indy uses them too.

Hi RobertX:

Write letters to your Member of Parliament, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Honourable James Moore.

Write letters to your local newspapers and the national newspapers.

Talk to your friends. Talk to strangers.

If you’re in school, work UBB into essays, theses, and term papers.

If you’re at work, make comments in proposals, quotations, and on the cover page of your TPS report.

Blog.

Tweet.

Dent.

–Bob.

Laurel suggested that I should let more people know about the recent CRTC ruling for the party supporting Usage Based Billing. But there’s only so much I can do, I’ll try again however.

What is your suggestion, Robert; what do you think I, a Canadian citizen and an Internet user, should do?

Hi CP Brakewell: You're right, the first graph that plots Teksavvy Unlimited Service was dependent on colour cues. I've added indicators to the legend so that the chart can be read without colour. Thanx for pointing this out. Making charts and visual aids accessible so that they are not dependent on colour is good not only for those with tritanopia, but also for those of us who only have black&white printers! --Bob.

Hi. I wished to inform you that some components of your web site are difficult to scan for me, as I am color blind. I am a sufferrer of tritanopia, but there are other types of color blindness which will also experience problems. I can understand most of the site OK, and the elements I have issues with I can comprehend by using a adapted browser. In any case, it would be cool if you could bear in mind us color-blind folk while doing your next site revamp. Thanks.
