Would it be fair to say that all these problems would go away if a startup ISP was not trying to lease capacity from their direct (and much larger) competitor?

Or did I misunderstand why permits from Bell are required.
- bcrl 4y agoCFC doesn't buy transport or transit from Bell as their pricing is ridiculous ($10,800 per month to go 26 km at 10Gbps? No way.). We only rent poles and strand from Bell. As Bell owns a good percentage of the poles in Ontario, it is practically impossible to build aerial plant in rural areas without running into Bell owned support structures. Putting up new poles is a $10k per kilometer added expense, and even more if there are a lot of rocks.
