This is why I posted on Slashdot, because the conventional press doesn't seem to care (or understand?) about telecom issues. This newspaper article is right that fibre access will be forborne in 5 years, but that only matters for big businesses. For the residential user, that is until FTTH is built, telephone and coaxial wires are the only way out to the Internet. The CRTC decision will ensure that ISPs which are not owned by telephone and cable companies, will be able to continue to access the access facilities of the telephone and cable companies. This will assure Net Neutrality in Canada, by ensuring multiple paths to the Internet.
