They police themselves to go as far they can to maximize risk/reward with respect to litigation. This is obviously so otherwise companies would never face litigation on these issues.
Obviously Shaw's not going to just go do whatever they want and flaunt the law. But it's in their best interest to do everything they can within that law.
That's what I meant, it's not Shaw's job to decide if they need to be split into 2 companies, or to decide to create regulations to make sure that they, and Telus and Bell don't abuse their position as a pipe provider to shore up their position as a content provider. They comply with them if they exist.
