Our framework is different. We were early out of the gate in terms of trying to introduce competition into the local network with the United States. The United States did it with their telecom act in 1996. We were engaged in the proceedings for establishing what the conditions of local competition were going to be. That proceeding started in January 1995.
So we were really early out of the gate at trying to do this. Our approach is very different from that of the United States. The United States looked at every network element of the incumbents and said you have to provide every element at such-and-such a price to the entrants, whereas our approach was to identify very few elements in the network, so-called essential facilities, and provide them at much higher prices than those in the United States.
So in some sense the American experience was opening up the whole network and letting all elements of that be available to entrants. It was no more successful than our experiment was with this so-called hybrid model in which we would allow entrants to use some of the incumbent's networks.
