Re: Bell is growing way too large.
what is almost never mentioned is that Teksavvy basically buys wholesale ADSL from Bell and adds on their own stuff (some backhaul, email/web service, authentication, etc).
for almost 10 years, any company in Canada has the right to rent bare copper lines from the ILEC(bell, telus, etc) and colocate their own dslams into central offices and thus avoid any throtting. but most companies choose to instead buy wholesale adsl from the ILEC, which is obviously subject to throttling.
(obviously this doesn't apply to VRADs/remotes and so on) |

Putting in DSLAMs in CO's is NOT going to provide a complete solution. Further, now Bell is trying to get rid of co-location in the CO! |

And where did the govermnet get the money from ? FROM US, THE CONSUMERS. So, if you wonder why the samall ISPs didn't build their own network from scratch, it's because they didn't get any subsidies from the government to do so and so obviously they went with the wholesale forced offer from Bell.
