I think if you talk to experts around the world and telecommunication economists, they will generally agree that where there are truly essential facilities—that is, facilities that cannot be economically or technically duplicated on a reasonable basis—there should be some mandated wholesale access to those. However, what the CRTC has done over the years is develop a class of what it calls near-essential facilities, and it has also mandated access to those at relatively low cost.
I'm sorry if I get into the economic jargon too much.
The problem with that, we found, is that acted as a disincentive to competitors building their own networks, because you could simply buy wholesale access from the existing incumbent telephone companies at a low price and you had no incentive to build your own network to compete with them. So I think the answer is yes, most economists would say you need some mandated access to essential facilities, but you do not need it beyond that.
