Hi Frank,

I appreciate your knowledge and the time you take to share it. Funny that I hadn't even really thought about HFC/DOCSIS model being only intended for one facilities based operator and their chosen single platform when it's a question I should of asked a long time ago.

I would love to see a transcript of an FCC hearing, Court proceeding, or Council meeting to see how T or the Cable partners explained these issues to the decision makers, and to see how the ISP's responded.

From what I've read in the CRTC decision, the commission agreed that it was not currently technically feasible and that "open access" whilst being mandated in theory, could not yet be applied in practice. The article you posted a few days ago took the tone that the CRTC would start getting impatient with the cable co's. So far, I've seen no mention of a CRTC/Cable showdown (though i'm not done my search yet).

I find the drama of this story somewhat fascinating.

Regards
Jay
