Maybe.  They are at present trying to prevent ISPs like mine from being able to
use the fibre Optics that they are laying.  Their excuse is, if that is allowed
(already the case as ordered by our regulatory agency), they will have to stop
the Fibre optic stuff.  I have no idea why, other then they want to control the
market completely.  I just read an article from CIRA of which I am a member,
that Bell, prefers to feed from US exchange hubs, because it is more profit for
them to have more hops, rather then one of the local Canadian hubs which would
speed things up.

I just wonder if there is some work around they can use.
