Re 2: I know they dominate the cell phone market, but that can't be accurate. Shaw, Eastlink and Videotron have massive marketshare in their respective regions.

- stanmancan 10y agoShaws "region" is everywhere west of Hamilton (Toronto). Eastern Canada is Rogers (cable) and Bell (adsl) and Western Canada is Shaw (cable) and Telus (adsl)
- bearcobra 10y agoRight, Shaw, Telus, SaskTel, MTS (soon to be Bell), and TBayTel are the players west of Sault St Marie. Cogeco, Rogers, Bell, and Videotron get the majority of Ontario and Quebec. Eastlink, Rogers, and Bell Aliant get the Atlantic provinces. My point more generally is that while Telus, Bell and Rogers (rightly) get a lot of grief for their actions in the cellular market, home ISPs are a different thing. Because Bell and Rogers dominate the golden horseshoe, they get most of the media coverage, but we shouldn't forget the influence the other players have.
