I'll clarify that. I didn't mean that the federal government should not be involved, but the municipal government should end up owning and controlling the network. It does in SWIFT. The federal government contributes, as do the provincial government and the municipalities. But ultimately the network is controlled by the municipalities. It's not owned by the municipalities. The companies own the network, and that's fine, as long as they agree and are controlled by the municipalities in saying how it would be run, how open access should work.
A vendor cannot put a network together that's open access. It just cannot be done.
