Southfield, MI		Same fight?

Is this the same fight the bells fought and won in the US? And thus were able to kill any real DSL vs. DSL competition!?

 Someone correct me if I'm totally wrong, but I don't think the situation in Canada ever existed in the United States- in Canada ISPs can lease connections over Bell's ATM network. So an ISP could have a gateway with Bell in say, Toronto, but could lease a line for a customer in say, Quebec, and the ISP would handle connections between Quebec and the Toronto gateway, which where the ISP would take over and connect the customer to the internet. In America, the ISP would have to locate equipment in each Central Office in the area they wanted to service, and only rent the local loop between the CO and the customer.
