Here's a link to the sites FAQ: »SBC Remote Terminal (RT) FAQ »What is an RT and what does it do?

It's SBC, but a RT is a RT. Guessing by the large geographical size of Canada, I'm sure that there is more than likely several RT's spread throughout. The RT does NOT bring any sort of copper back to a CO. AFAIK, you can't rent space to install your own hardware. Judging by pictures I have seen, they are usually small.

So yes - they could put their own DSLAM into several CO's - but they will be cutting off a significant part of possible subs.

I've also heard rocky mention that something about they would then have to pay some type of tax, because their current situation does not list them as having a "presence" in several areas of Canada. I'm not familiar enough with Canada's tax, but apparently it was a "GST" in Montreal/Quebec that they would then have to pay - IIRC.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-cuttin-out-the-middlemen-20846562 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:03:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-cuttin-out-the-middlemen-20844970 said by st7860:

for everyone that didn't already know, companies in Canada are able to put their own DSLAMS into Bell's central offices and thus are not REQUIRED in any way to use Bell's backhaul. but teksavvy chooses to operate in that manner.
They can't put their own remotes though. There's a lot of places they couldn't service even if they decided to deploy their DSLAMS.

Imo, they should all band up together with a known partner (like Google) and kill Bell's ISP service. It would be well deserved.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-cuttin-out-the-middlemen-20844970 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:24:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-cuttin-out-the-middlemen-20844857 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-cuttin-out-the-middlemen-20844857 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:58:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-cuttin-out-the-middlemen-20844843
