I'd better make it count.
Thank you very much for your presentation and the very thoughtful advice you've been giving this committee as we're looking at bringing high-speed rural broadband to all sorts of places, such as northern Ontario, which has a significant amount of dark fibres that are served in the major cities by companies like Shaw in Sault Ste. Marie, for example. As soon as you get out of my city of Sault Ste. Marie and start going north, there are a lot of challenges in just the geography of Canada and all the different issues.
There's a company in Sault Ste. Marie called WirelessCom. It's a small one, and it has just started up. I've met with the owner. There are a lot of expenses in the towers and getting access, trying to find places where he can beam his signal and bounce it. He gets pretty innovative. Sometimes he has to hire a helicopter, or he has to climb up a mountain with his crew in the middle of winter, and so on.
I've heard testimony from various people that it would have been easier if other people who owned towers gave access to the smaller and medium-sized corporations, but they're not. Have you heard that as well? It could be Hydro, Bell towers, or Shaw. It's about being able to piggyback on there. Have you had any success doing that, and do you have any examples?
