Now, that's wicked competition. :) What I meant that the cablecos are competing against Bell in the home phone, high-speed Internet, wireless and TV markets. Now, that’s wicked competition.

Wickedly fierce? With regard to wireless, a previous post you made says and I quote "The reality is there little real competition in wireless markets so there’s little need to use lower prices as a strategic tool.". So what we have in wireless is rising prices and limited options. This represents wickedly fierce competition? As for internet services and cable fees, wickedly fierce competition is not how I would describe these markets. I would hate to think what normal competition would bring... I would suggest the telecom market in Canada is anything but competitive... Mark:
