> Just goes to show that Canadian telecom policy is controlled by telecoms, not by the government I worked for a (very) large Canadian telcom for 4 years. What you said is absolutely 100% correct. In my region my employer was forced to allow competition in the internet space, and they submitted rates to the CRTC that were astronomical. The CRTC replied and said they would force them to lower the rates, so my employer said they would stop building out their fibre network expansion. The CRTC caved, the telco got it's way, and to this day the ISP with the largest operating area of any on the planet has zero competition.
