As for the OP's question, the short answer is no. There isn't a good business case for creating all that infrastructure (the cable) in order to try and go up against two established companies that already have a huge capital base behind them (Shaw and Telus in Calgary). MMDS systems such as Image Cable would be a way of entering the market but the technology hasn't been successful in an urban setting in Canada.
