<p><font face="Tomson Talks">Good news & bad news on the Fibre
Optic Wholesale Pricing set by CRTC.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tomson Talks">Good news: rates have been set
nation-wide.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tomson Talks">Bad news: Teksavvy isn't happy with the
rates, and they do seem high. Bell's flanker brand sells retail
pricing lower than the wholesale pricing, for example.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tomson Talks">I'd been looking forward to this day,
but I'm somewhat disappointed. It's good for furthering fibre
deployments vs cable, but a bit costly. Wondering if rates will
be reviewed in, say, 5 years?</font></p>

wholesale fibre internet, which should provide more

<blockquote type="cite"><em>\u201cCNOC is disappointed that the
Commission did not test its rates against market costs.
Incumbent flanker brands like Bell\u2019s eBox already sell fibre
Internet at retail prices nearly 40 per cent below what the
CRTC\u2019s final wholesale rate alone would cost an independent
provider \u2014 before an independent provider adds a single dollar
of its own costs.\u201d</em></blockquote>
