In my presentation, I didn't have time to talk about that. Pre-UBB GAS service was based on the phase 2 costs. The phase 2 costs guaranteed not only that Bell Canada is paid for its operating costs, but also that it is paid for infrastructure costs. When demand rises, Bell Canada has the money to invest and increase capacity. The AHSSPI and GAS charges combined gave Bell Canada money so it could make guaranteed profits with no risk and invest for growth. Adding UBB technology provides additional money that Bell Canada does not need to make profits. It is really a double tax.
