That would create a whole new market with MVNO carriers, plus allow Wind and others to negotiate better pricing for their roaming plans, plus maybe even provide additional coverage within their home zones for a fee.

Teksavvy and others are offering some pretty incredible prices now for internet plans with great speeds and no bandwidth limits all because of the wholesale pricing. I believe the cost of buying GB/s worth of bandwidth has gone down substantially.
I was speaking with someone recently who is with Nucleus (a grandfather of a Calgary tech company), and they essentially re-sell shaw internet at a substantial savings. Seemed interesting, though I don't think they offer the 150mb/s. Still, if all I wanted was decent internet, I'd likely go with them.
