I guess I have to correct myself. We (AtlasVoice) are not going out of business, but we will face more problems dealing with the incumbents from now on. Luckily most of our customers have an ABB (Anything-But-Bell) policy, and as long as we provide better service we're good. That part of the competition is not the tricky part...
As John pointed out, new customers will now have to spend more time on the phone fighting off Bell-reps begging them to stay with Bell. However, I'm confident most customers will see through their charade.

The only reason companies, such as AtlasVoice, can stay in business is because the "giants" are regulated. http://www.cavp.ca/content/view/76/2/ Once they've sabotaged all their competition, Bell and Telus will once again be able to jack up the prices and regain their monopoly. I hope the first area will be Parliament Hill and Maxime Bernier's neighbourhood. But then again...that'll go on our tab.
