Hardly the first.  ONet was providing internet service to selected Toronto-
area organizations long before IO and probably deserves the title of 
"Toronto's first internet service provider".  If you meant affordable to the 
individual, say it... don't make misleading statements.

Ignoring the fact that this statement contradicts the one above, how could 
Canada Remote Systems be "Toronto's only commercial Internet provider" when 
they obtained their services from of UUNET Canada, the organization probably 
best deserving the title "Toronto's first commercial Internet provider". 

How can we trust your supposed 'insider' version of the IO story when your 
article doesn't jive with itself, let alone some basic historical facts?!?
