• What has been the market impact of VoIP in Canada? Has the local market continued its slow decline or is VoIP stimulating consumer demand and increasing total revenues?
• When cablecos offer VoIP and telcos offer TV over DSL, who is the potential winner or loser in a given local market or city? How does the early market success of cablecos offering VoIP compare with the market share loss of telcos?
