As many of you may know, Bell Canada has had a monopoly on the phone line business of Canada for a while, with AT&T and Northern TeleCom and others only able to make phones, not having the right to try to use their phone line(s) in Canada, unlike the United States. A Bell representitive has said that there is competetion for the phone market against Bell, and the other phone company fighting this monopoly has asked the government of Canada for permission, which the Bell rep., said that the other phone company [don't know what they are. Probably At&t] will probably get permission to use their business here in Canada, therefore destroying Bell's monopoly on phone power. If this DOES go through, and Bell DOES lose their monopoly, the Bell rep., said that the long distance prices will Decrease [GOOD if you don't phreak, and good if you do, so when and if you get busted... ], though the local charges, for having touch tone, a line, etc..., will have to increase. The phone company challenging Bell is not known to me, though, as I said above, is probably AT&T. Other possible big name phone companies that may be in for some of Canada's phone market may be: Northern Telecom, Sprint, MCI and others. Look for version 1.1a for another Bell / Other Phone Co.
