As Rogers executives appeared before a parliamentary committee on Monday to face a grilling from MPs over the company’s July 8 nationwide outage, on the latest episode of The Maple’s North Untapped podcast we spoke to Matt Hatfield, the campaigns director at OpenMedia, about the outage and what it tells us about this country's telecom market.
