and the reasoning for only allowing so many telcos/cablecos in a given area is due to the infrastructure involved. you wouldn't want to see telephone polls absolutly packed with various cables due to a variety of differnet companies having their own networks. this is why the CRTC mandates that companies such as Shaw and Telus lease out their lines to 3rd party providors, so that you can get the competition without the clutter

Your right, when it involves common sense issues like power distribution lines and such. As for insurance, I would only agree with a public system if it broke even. I can't stand the thought of subsidizing some dickhead who has had 3 DUI's and 4 accidents, which happens in some public systems.
