Having had experience in the adoption of VoIP(cable phone service) in
the UK. I can say that the scenario that is being played out between
Rogers, Bell and CRTC is exactly the same as Shaw Cable, BT and OFTEL
in the year 2000. While for the cost of monthly service is more or less
the same, the cable companies offer two lines instead of one, free local
calls between cable subscribers and a host of other features that BT
(British Telecom ) charge extra for. This makes it a "no brainer" for
the customer to switch to the local cable company.
By the way, cable companies supply analog lines into the home, but they
are converted to in the outside cable boxes in the streets. I assume it
is VoIP but it may be some other digital method.
