My next question is for Mr. Parent.
On the second last page of your brief, you refer to companies that have a mutual incentive to protect their market share. You stated, and I quote:
...but lack the incentive to compete aggressively for Canadians' business by innovating or contributing to our national productivity. The cable companies have simply matched the product and price offered by the telephone company. This may be in their commercial self-interest, but it does not result in true choice or innovation for Canadians.
The way I see it, cable or telephone companies will set a price and the players who want to latch on to these companies will be stuck, because they will have to pay in order to reach the network. They will have to pay and therefore they will not be competitive.
I would like to hear your comments on this matter.
