Thousands of ISPs that collectively add up to a pimple on a horse's ass. In practice you have two dominant landline providers in each market, the ILEC and the cable company. A duopoly with a competitive fringe. Whereas other countries like South Korea and France have achieved much higher broadband penetration rates using other approaches. ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces () nanog org> on behalf of Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net> Sent: Friday, December 23, 2016 10:58 PM Cc: Nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Canada joins the 21st century ! In the US there are thousands of independent ISPs. I assume Canada at least has hundreds of them. There are plenty of ways of utilize independents to improve access versus throwing cash into a fan. Not to mention the ridiculousness of a 50/10 requirement. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Sage" <jsage () finchhaven com> To: Nanog () nanog org Sent: Friday, December 23, 2016 8:23:26 AM Subject: Re: Canada joins the 21st century !

I agree. To hell with 'government'. What has it done for you lately, anyway? Canada should just have Comcast (or is it "Xfinity"?) provided nation-wide Internet service as a for-profit monopoly. Problem solved! - John --
