So, are you saying it's the CRTC's fault that the barriers to enter the
marketplace (for local service)? Can you suggest why carriers have had
easier access to NXX in other provinces irrespective of the size of their
operation (eg Navigata was a micro-carrier in BC before being bought out by
SaskTel). Perhaps it's just Ottawa (from the Liberal days) getting back at
us for not electing enough Liberals ... or perhaps it's just SaskTel
struggling to hold on to their monopoly.

The phrase "own the customer" is standard in the telecom industry. Is Sask-
Tel a kind benevolent telco compared to every other one in Canada and the
world?
