“Posadzki has written an incisive and compelling melodrama—and an industry primer that ought to be read by anyone who wonders just how Canada’s telecommunications industry works—or doesn’t—and how Canadian public policy and federalism conditions it. From the scourge of dual class shares to regulatory review to board struggles to how physical networks work and beyond, the book moves seamlessly between technical, business, legal and interpersonal details while remaining interesting, informative and accessible. That’s an achievement. . . . [Rogers v. Rogers] will remain a must-read.”
