Thank you, Info, for the answer, even if you were rude. Here's the exact quote:

"Paul Mercia: We are shooting for the end of September. The alliance now that we have with Call-Net [T.CN] is great. They bring so much to the table that other groups who have approached us couldn't. For example, their experience of providing an online service coast to coast. As far as the back end goes, I could say we can launch two weeks from now, especially with the experience Sprint already has and with the infrastructure they already have in place. Our problem has been in building the 3web server infrastructure. We are talking about a system that is going to handle half a million households right off the bat and, putting it together is a huge build on the part of the company that we go with."

He says "We are shooting for the end of September" and then goes on to explain the problems involved. This is an estimate, a probable launch date. He probably wishes he hadn't said it, given the way it is dwelt upon by nervous nellies. I can't believe how impatient some of the so-called "longs" on this thread are. Give the company a break. This is a huge project - if they get it done this fall, I would say they are doing pretty well. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will Toronto be.
