This is one area where government intervention might eventually be required.

It isn't going to happen. The CRTC would b!tch and moan, not to mention Telus, Rogers and Bell saying that it would be detremental to have a US carrier come into Canada. The only thing it would be detremental to is the Canadian carriers pocket books.
And the Canadian Government isn't going to allow this either. All it would take is cries from the opposition to claim that Canada's soveirgnty is at stake.
I would love more competition in Canada from other countries, in terms of these products. It will just force the Canadian companies to get better. But i am living in a pipe dream.
