The Canadian Wireless Telecom Association announced this evening that former New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord will become the association's new chief executive.
Lord's last major role (left) was national co-chair of the Conservative campaign. That campaign promised, among other things:
A re-elected Conservative government led by Stephen Harper will prevent telecommunications companies from charging fees to customers for receiving unsolicited commercial text messages. We will amend the Telecommunications Act to strengthen the power of the Commissioner of Complaints for Telecommunications Services, including the creation of a code of conduct for wireless services. We will also create a compliance and deterrent power that allows the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to block these and similar unfair charges in the future.
Call me crazy, but it seems to me that the CWTA's board just made a very shrewd personnel decision …
