The conflict of interest that arises due to the the cable providers owning the last mile should be what gets dealt with. If the companies that own the last mile want UBB then they should be forced to be spun off from the Shaws, Bells and Rogers that own them. Have these last mile companies sell exclusively to independent ISP's and cable tv providers which then sell to the consumer.
