They sure did, but you would be very naive to think that in the time from when Telus/Enmax/Shaw too over until the present day there were zero improvements made to the system. You would also be foolish to think that if Telus/Enmax/Shaw HAD paid for all thier infrastructure that they would not have charged extra when they were fledgling enterprises to recoup those costs.
The government subsidized many things in our country, much of it the result of the sheer size of the country in relation to our population. They did it so we could even have these services, not so we could expect a discounted rate for the rest of time.
