Kettle to pot: you're black!

We've heard first hand on this list from another competitive local carrier
that SaskTel appears to make it dificult/impossible for competitive carriers
to get Saskatchewan numbers, something SaskTel has been required to do for
a few years. Their resistance has to providing local numbers for competitve
carriers is not a technical difficulty, it's purely a business issue. Why
should we expect SaskTel to be less resistive to number portability?
