Bell Canada and Microsoft. How do you or I benefit from that? I agree that if it gets to no choice in the market, that would be bad. If it did get down to Bell and Microsoft, I'd probably get in the market (I've previously posted a quickie ISP cost/income breakdown) However, see no sign of that happening at this point. (In Ottawa alone, there are guys like Magma, Echelon, Intranet, Cyberus, etc. all still in business, and I know that at least Magma and Intranet are profitable. Maybe Rob and Wayne could comment on Echelon and Cyberus respectively) -Ralph -- Ralph Doncaster, Doncaster Consulting Inc email: ralph@doncaster.on.ca 2816 Richmond Rd.
