You are glossing over the fact that "who's hurt by it" ignores the future potential benefits.
Not having an industrial revolution would have hurt a lot of people too, condemning millions or billions to the limited quality of life that existed before it. No modern medicine, no modern amenities, just 90% of the population subsistence farming.
Allowing light or limited plans means that they don't have the revenue to cover the costs.
The actual usage on the network is functionally irrelevant at this point, providers don't save any money if people don't use their phones as much these days. It's almost all fixed costs which means that plans are essentially just fixed at this point too. Price points still exist only for advertising and marketing purposes, the companies are totally satisfied just getting everyone to a minimum value. The whole industry has just become a commodity but with 100% fixed costs.
It's not like they're raking in stupid profits either, TELUS only had a net income of around 5% of their revenue last year.
Population density isn't a rural issue, it's a fixed costs issue.
The companies are required to maintain a larger total network of towers and everyone has to pay for that, which means city users are subsidizing rural networks quite significantly.
I'm not saying the Big 3 aren't taking advantage of the situation, but they do have a legitimate issue.
I really hate this headline.
They aren't wrong 70% of the time.
The study found that they only successfully complete multi-step business tasks 30% of the time. Those tasks were made up by the researchers to simulate an office environment.
This percentage spread for different models is also absolutely massive too, with some coming in at 1% completion and others coming in over 30%.
It's the lone star state...

Too simplistic to be cynical, just naive.
Pretty naive take on how governments work.
Could just break it up into chapters or something, pretty easy to split a pdf.
You can literally just feed the images into chat gpt at this point.
The industrial revolution only led to a Tenuous benefit... lol.
