Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What I find most frustrating, when we talk to these different telecom companies, is that everyone is developing their own networks. It's similar to say, “Ford, GM or Tesla building only roads for Ford, GM or Tesla.” The infrastructure seems to be a big part of the discussion. When the CRTC announced that large telecommunications service providers would have to provide competitors with access to their fibre-to-home networks, Bell announced that it would reduce its planned network investment by a billion dollars. I understand, and I've heard the argument that there needs to be a return on equity.
Are we getting to the stage now where fibre optics, or telecom networks, need to be considered as utilities, and need to become return-on-investment utilities that are regulated?
I'd like to hear from each one of you.
