But remember that 3rd party ISPs
** DO NOT RESELL BELL SERVICES ***
---
They buy raw data transfer between end users and the ISP's routers. That service is offered by Bell and is not related to the internet. And that service is regulated by the CRTC.
Once the data gets to the ISP, it is then routed to the internet using that ISP's own connections to the internet, its own mail servers, DNS servers etc.
This allows each ISP to set its internet policies totally independantly from other ISPs and in no way related to what Sympatico decides to do.
(Until now since Bell is now imposing Sympatico policies on competitors to Sympatico).
EXACTLY!! KUDOS!
