I would note that some of the smaller telecoms are lapping Bell when it comes to investment in fibre in rural communities. I think it's just furthering that digital divide, where Bell is the incumbent and users are being forced to move to wireless Internet.

I want to briefly comment on the Internet service availability map that ISED has developed. Much of that is from the telecoms providing that information. How comfortable are you that that mapping is accurate from areas where Bell is the incumbent?
