Last week The National Post, in its Financial Post section, criticized the CRTC for its decision to grant independent internet service providers access to the fibre to the premises facilities that are being rolled out across Canada.

The Post’s editor, Terence Corcoran, was gracious enough to publish our position on the importance of access to ensure better competition, more choice, and lower prices, in the high-speed internet services that Canadians increasingly crave.
