The majority of Canadians in our survey, which was done in September 2006, did not believe, essentially, in the premise of the CRTC test--which the incumbent telephone companies think is far too restrictive--which is that having one competitor, a cable provider, is sufficient competition. The CRTC test more or less boils down to having at least one competitor and a 25% loss of market share. The incumbent telephone companies believe this is far too restrictive.
In our view, this was a fairly liberal kind of decision by the CRTC. There's a whole body of economic literature that shows that in fact you need about four or five competitors of more or less equal size in order to have a workably competitive market.
