Am I wrong or did a phone company just admit (in writing) that they are mis-using their monopoly as a telephone utility to gather information on their competitors in the Internet service spin-off business?? And why can't independant have access to the same information? This sounds like an issue that the CRTC should undertake to create a more level playing field. That is, if the CRTC can be persuaded to objectively by a small ISP against a institutionalized phomne company. -- B.MacDonald
