I can think of nothing worse than a regime that continues to restrict broadcast carriage. The reason is that if all the carriers in the country are unable to benefit from this because they have integrated networks, then the benefits of this simply don't flow to consumers, because 90% of the market remains closed. So you end up in the same situation as this partial step whereby a limited number of what you would call new entrants--although I don't call companies with more subscribers than the population of Canada new entrants--Verizon, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom coming into the wireless business, eroding that market, which as I suggested is the primary source of subsidy for the declining telephone business, without any opportunity for Canadian companies to respond to play on the same playing field. So it's better to do nothing than to do something partial like that.
