If the new direction is consumer focusing, what was it before? Hmmmm?

It was focused on the stockholders.

Like the ones who sit on the board and attend champagne lunches. The ones who think 'up to 25GB use" means the same as "unlimited".

The cabal of Telus/Rogers/Bell have a direct impact on who sits on this board and what topics that can look into.

but but but the only solution must be to let T-mobile in and offer 1 GB more for $1 less and suck billions out of Canada....

The new policy is a smoke screen for this:

Indie internet providers warned for months CRTC decision would kill them — now they’re beginning to disappear

Essentially, rather than handling the large cause of problems (anti-competitive market, oligopoly) it is trying to tackle the symptoms (consumer issues as a result of an anti-competitive market). Not all bad, but doesn't really address foundational problems.
