In cable, Rogers, Vidéotron, Shaw, and Cogeco, who are the bigger players in the field, are all regulated under the Broadcasting Act because they play a role in our activities. We like to call them a partner--sometimes we have to remind them they are--but they really are very fundamentally linked to our operations. We use them at a cost, but we use them to distribute our services, and they are governed or supervised by the CRTC. They are regulated by the CRTC because of that, so if you're only a telecom provider, like, for example, some of the new entrants will be at the start, in that position they are only regulated by the Telecommunications Act. But the minute they start distributing broadcasting services, they take the role of a BDU--broadcast distribution undertaking--and then they fall under the Broadcasting Act, and that's where we belong in terms of the sector itself.
