Ideal conditions? Most of my theorizing is more like a worst-case since everything is a lot more expensive and much less cost-efficient on a (relatively) small scale.
The fact that Bell's and most other incumbents AHSSPI/AGAS rates are between double and triple what they should be is not a theory but you do need to theorize to come to that conclusion first. Otherwise, you are just saying "the price is too high because I feel like I am being ripped off", not quite as strong an argument as saying that most current rates are more than double the estimated cost of building from scratch as a new-entrant if non-aggregated became a mandated service rather than its current end-of-life status.
Since the CRTC decided to mandate only aggregated access only, the CRTC has to ensure tariff rates are at least comparable to such hypothetical scenarios. IIRC, the new CRTC chairman said he was going to look back into it since so many wildly different rates have been filed.
