Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank all of you for appearing before us today.

I have a question and I want to get it out of my mind. I suppose I could ask this to any of the deputy ministers, but is there another example of carriers and equipment conglomerates globally positioned? We had testimony before us today of the attempt by RIM to purchase what I would consider the carrying part of the industry. Are there other examples of that in the world today, where equipment makers like RIM also have that capability?
