The whole CRTC and the Canadian ownership rules are as much an anachronism as the collusion monopoly of the big three in the Canadian wireless markets. Competition is good. Does not matter who bankrolls it. The World Economic Forum's Competitiveness Report still ranks Canada as a telecommunication hinterland. I can confirm: the service I get in Canada in 2010 is still inferior to what I got in Europe in 1999. And it is more expensive. Move forward rather than looking backward. Advance rather than obstruct. Accept Wind as a dynamic and fair competitor and compete along them for our business rather than pathetically trying to follow in the steps of the old monopolists.

If you now feel the need to define control in fact... I guess you are entitled to do that, after the CRTC failed in it's bid to define in for the benefit of the incumbents. BTW will you be offering the iphone? Will you be blocking your ports for your data services? Are you even offering data?
