Patrick Calgary: Response: The investment should be made by the local health authority - if this can happen, we are absolutely capable of providing the interpretation services for the images given we are connected to you through the Supernet.

 

joshsehn: Thank you VERY MUCH to Graham for taking the initiative to educate everyone and for standing up to Telus as well as highlighting the falicy of Telus' arguements. I hope the CRTC will act in favor of the public and that Graham will be afforded the resources required to continue to keep Telus honest.

 

Leslie Warren: Michael asked what exactly we are talking about in this discussion - as Perry indicated, it's business which will keep rural alberta viable - we would like the same quality and performance as in the urban center so we will have successful businesses

 

Patrick Calgary: Andy: what do panelist see as likely traffic growth on services

joshsehn: How can Telus say that they are willing to help ISPs when it seems quite to the contrary as evidenced by the constant fighting, through the CRTC, with independant ISPs. My question is when can we expect Telus to stop acting in such predatory fashion?

 

Three Hills: Question from TH - What is Telus solution to the connectivity problem?

 

joshsehn: I wonder if Graham could comment as to wether it feels that Telus has acted in a predatory fashion and if these actions by the ILEC have hurt competition.

 

Three Hills: Well Done Everyone!
