They might calculate that they won't make fabulous profits if they have to share. The government should stick to it's position, and announce plans to build out the infrastructure themselves if none springs up. I think Bell would decide they want to be in control after all. |

| and does kevin crull know what hes doing or what
1st they outsource to people who dont have any idea what they talk about "5 megabit is 500Kbytes/sec" LOL scam1 breaching there contracts at will , with no penalties YET if your or i do it we get dinged anyhwere from 100-150$ each scam2 ( would look good that any comapny doing so that also breaches a contract ALSO has to pay that, ya thatwould change things wouldn't it) NOW they want to drop us to 256kbit speed ( thats the speed full tilt all month to reach a 60GB cap roughly ) Man are they pushing there limits. Funny how there own service NOW offers 100GB and rogers suddenly offers 95GB leave bell altogehter DONT GIVE THEM ANYTHING |

They are an out of control monopoly that is doing harm to the consumer and by extension, to the Canadian economy.

If Bell Canada decides to pick up all their marbles and leave, the CRTC could very well fight back by breaking up the monopoly. Open the market to competitors at extremely favorable terms. Bell Canada is going to have to learn that when you are a regulated monopoly, you have to play by certain rules. If you don't like it, then give up your monopoly status and face real competition. -- I support the right to keep and arm bears. |

That my neighborhood will never be upgrade now. Bell sucks, has for the past few years, and will until everyone is long dead.
Maybe the government should use some of that stimulus and just rebuild the entire network and let Bell Canada rot in hell. -- "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943 |

Why should Bell invest billions in infrastructure and then have the gov't force them to sell access to others at cost. That would be a disservice to their stockholders and an extremely stupid action by their management team. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page |

Because Bell built their current infrastructure and their current market valuation with government $$$, therefor with MY $$$. Why should they get a free ride on my $$ ?!?!? It's a god damn monopoly created with the public's $$ and at such it should server the PUBLIC's interests and NOT their shareholder's interests. And if Bell's management doesn't see it that, the government better force them otherwise. Unlike in your corporate America where corporations decide what you get, i still hold a bit of faith that our Canadian government, as bad as it is at the moment, still has a bit of cojones left to actually serve those who put them in power in the first place.

It's cost + 15%.If the competitors had access to the local loop then this would not be a problem.Its either this or unbundl the local loops like the EU did.We don't wanna be like the US and have just a bunch of monopolies,we want choice. |

Bell does everything in its power to fight innovation and change, it makes them more money. By keeping everyone in the dark ages, any new technologies implemented, even on a small scale can be jacked up in price.
I'd love nothing more than to see them crumble. |

Bell has no choice but to invest in their Next Generation Network. The cable companies are their real enemy. They're being quite disingenuous when they claim that allowing competitors access will deter them from making new investment.
They also claim that the 7, 10 and 16 meg profiles are offered *Only* on their Next Generation Network, which of course is complete nonsense. They offer these profiles from Host based DSLAMs as well. |

Why should Canada allow them to continue to operate in their country?
I say Canada should tell them they are sharing and they are going to continue to roll out the next generation network. And if they don't, then they will be stripped of their current network and will no longer be operating in Canada. |
