 The Internet business in
 Toronto is *not* restricted 
 to local sources of funding.
 We have companies here that
 are reaping huge rewards of
 corporate sales on a national
 and International level far
 in excess of the metro region
 ISP profits (which are also
 substantial). It is a mega
 Billion dollar business though
 I don't think anyone knows
 wxactly how large.

 So you're right in a way! But
 so is I! Win win, okay?

 Peace.
