I think they are basically saying is that an access provider can not 
discrimnate. The current regulations could be used if this happened. They also 
stated that there were no examples provided where this has happened. I agree 
that if this happens than competitive pressure and existing regulation should be 
able to deal with it. The only retail QOS that I have heard of is the Calgary 
Shaw example where they are offering QOS which is not required for their phone 
system and would be a benefit to other VoIP providers.
