For anyone in Canada, the reduction of competition is a huge problem, and we are seeing right now an extinction event for independent Internet service providers. That really goes back to the dysfunction happening right now in the wholesale access system, as you've mentioned.
Wholesale high-speed access rates are clearly inflated, and the wholesale fibre-to-the-home access system has not been functionally implemented to date. That dysfunction is causing the mass extinction of independent Internet providers, and that in itself is preventing meaningful reduction in retail Internet pricing for all Canadians, including rural and remote customers. That also has implications for network build-out as well.
OpenMedia is really pleased to see that the CRTC is looking at reviewing the wholesale market, but it does remain to be seen what the CRTC does with that. We hope it will choose to side with Canadians and not side with big telecom yet again.
