Thank you for your question.
I think, however, that there's a significant difference. Even when we're talking about parasites, it's a matter of regulated rates. Back then, when the time was right for Videotron to enter the wireless telephony market, we had negotiated an agreement with Rogers, among others, to facilitate matters afterwards.
It's an interesting point to discuss. I'll be repeating approximately the same things I said earlier. In the 2008 auction, we exerted considerable pressure. We had been able to convince the late Jim Prentice, who was the minister of industry at the time, that these conditions were essential for there to be competition. Essentially, there were three important conditions, including spectrum. I'll talk about that one last, since you mentioned it already.
The first condition was mandated roaming. A network can't be built in a weekend. It takes years to build. So before you can rely on your own network, you have to rely on other people's networks. This is true of all international operators. For example, if you subscribe to Telus or someone else, when you are in the United States or in France, you are on the network of another operator and you have a roaming agreement. That's what was needed here in Canada for companies breaking into the market.
The second condition was power-sharing. Quite rightly, to avoid visual pollution created by a multitude of neighbouring towers, the legislator required operators to agree to install their antennas on a single infrastructure.
And now, the third…
