I can only give you the breakdown in terms of the voice-over-Internet product. And let's be clear that we're talking about five companies--Cogeco, Vidéotron, Rogers, Shaw, and EastLink. EastLink's product is not a voice-over-Internet product, but it has a very high competitive market share.

In the areas served by these major cable companies, we're looking at a market share in August of last year of 11.8%. That market share in December 2004 was 3.5%. That's a dramatic change, sir. So that's the kind of growth of that competitive market we're looking at.

Now, it has occurred under the current regulatory framework.
