The interesting bit that you are missing in our local environment with 
regards to competition is that you have increased competition in one 
space that is ISP but no competition in the infrastructure/gateway 
provider space. As a result what we have is increased contention ratio's 
for consumers by ISPs and hence the poor QoS and more affordable costs.
