Of late, I've heard a wide range of comments about how the former Regulated Monopolies in Canada should be treated these days. From the feeling that Taxpayers paid for their infrastructure, to the other extreme: we owe them a huge debt for ponying up the money to build the infrastructure, and we are cheating them out of their investment by allowing other players to use that infrastructure.
Phone companies created a network of copper wires to your home, cable companies did the same with coax. Both are being or have been upgraded to fibre optic cable.
The CRTC, meanwhile, has now forced those companies to share their networks with competitors.
