Re: Cable access in Canada

Here are Roger's rules on Resale in Canada
Message 12620245

Its abundantly clear that Resale in Canada will not occur. The 25% discount is not enough to make money. The ISP is not allowed to alter or remove the @Home email, @Home browser, or @Home software. What ISP in their right mind would offer to bill, install, purchase a cable modem, and supply tech support, so that the user can enjoy @Home. Resale will not happen under these terms.

Lastly, from what I've read, I still don't see the argument that the cable platform can support an unlimited number of ISPs. I just have to conclude that the more ISPs on a single platform, the more complex is its management, both technically and fiscally, which is bound to cause problems that is going to lead, directly or indirectly to diminished customer service, and perhaps QoS. Open access? If yes, then at what cost?

Exactly.

Regards
Jay
