This is why I was emphasizing this difference between two different businesses that are really operating in parallel, building networks on the one hand and competition for services on the other hand.
When most of us talk about encouraging competition, I think we're talking about an end-user's experience. Do consumers have choice? Are prices affordable? Do competitors compete for prices and actually affect each other's prices in the market?
When Rogers and Shaw were talking about network builds and the efficiencies of network building encouraging competition, they see a different kind of competition. They see other providers stepping in and maybe accelerating network build plans so that their speeds will keep up over time.
These are definitely important issues of competition, but they're different. As you develop policies and you think about what safeguards need to be put in place to protect competition, it's important to distinguish what kind of competition you're talking about so that the policies achieve the ends you're trying to meet.
Specifically, I don't think the kind of competition that Rogers and Shaw see resulting from this kind of a merger...I don't see that kind of competition resulting in better services for Canadians, more affordable prices and competition for services. It's a different element.
