In fact, if you look at the CRTC Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruling on requiring open access in Canada, crtc.gc.ca click on the TELECOM button and do a search for CABLE there are 2 very important sections for AOLers to realize. 1."However, as noted in Decision 98-9, while the cable industry stated it proposes to provide higher speed access services as soon as possible, technical and related work required to implement this service had not yet been completed. The Commission issued PN 98-14 before technical issues relating to the provision of such access were resolved in order to avoid regulatory delays in making access available once technical issues are resolved. A Technical Working Group of the Canadian Association of Internet Providers (CAIP) and the Canadian Cable Television Association (CCTA) is currently addressing these issues." The CRTC realizes that the technology does not currently exist to make open access feasible 2. Cable carriers must also provide facilities to interconnect with the ISPs' networks (the point of interconnection). Cable carriers will be required to develop a rate structure that covers both of these functions..." "In order to determine appropriate service costs, cable carriers must identify all network components that are causal to their provision of higher speed access service]" This refers to the costs of using @home's network. Money paid to @home, not directly to the cable company (although they profit from their investment in @home) So, as i have said many time before on this thread, I am long on AOL and ATHM. I want AOL to find a way to make an agreement with @HOME. regards Jay
