This was good ruling by Canadian regulators It seems like Canadians aren't addressing the real issue. One company is both the sole supplier to other companies, and competes with them. It should be forced to restructure to eliminate that conflict of interest. Focusing on anything else seems to miss the point.

Therein lies the problem for Canadians. Bell does not *want* to support their wholesale customers, but the regulators have said that they must since Bell manages the last mile and had a regulation-supported monopoly on the last mile until relatively recently.
As taxpayers and consumers we'd be a lot better off if ownership and control of the last mile infrastructure were partitioned off into a separate company that sold the wholesale access to everyone. That's essentially what we have now, except that the relationship between the last mile portion of Bell and the retail portion (their Sympatico ISP) is nowhere near arms-length. |
