You are talking about the possibility of remonopolization or duopolization subsequent to our using our test and deregulating an urban market.
At the present time, there are a number of players operating in urban markets. They are the former monopolies, the cable operators providing telephone services, and all the businesses offering cell phone service. All across Canada, there is a significant number of players in markets considered to be very limited. I do not believe we will lose the benefits of deregulation or that we are moving towards a duopoly or monopoly. In that regard, I would just like to read a comment made by the President of Cogeco, Mr. Audet, as quoted in the Globe and Mail on December 13, 2006. This is what he said:
“Our costs are very low. If someone decides to lower prices, they are welcome. We'll be in a position to defend ourselves.”
The President of the company is saying here that there is a competitive price structure and that he is prepared to take on the competition in any price war that results from deregulation. That is why we believe we must move to deregulate. There are significant players, and in addition to that, this is in the interests of consumers.
