It is their job to regulate all carriers in Canada that includes CNCP, 
Telecomm Canada, Teleglobe or anybody else acting as a carrier for that 
matter.

Actually Stuart, I am more interested in developing a Canadian TCP/IP network
than installing a Canadian version of uunet.  UUNET Canada is great in the
short term, but in long term we NEED something better.  Reading news is one
thing Stuart, but wouldn't you rather have the capability of ftp'ing your 
favourite programs or whatever instantaneously?  It is done in the States,
why should it not be done here?

Ok then, It's settled.  I will have my computer call your computer and work
it all out.  .......   But wait ...... it won't do any good, never mind.
