By 'local phone market' are you referring to the landline in households? I see a potential beachhead for this in the college student residence sector, in some schools we move every four months so there are lots of non-consumers due to the high and re-occurring initial setup cost. thank you for the answer Rob.

Why else would Industry Minister Maxime Bernier tell the Canadian Radio-Television Commission to not regulate Voice-over-IP telephony? You mean, the companies can offer VOIP at whatever...
