With reference to the recent submission by Telus Communications Inc to Public Notice CRTC 2001-37) and its request to have flexibility to raise rates for local servcice I would like to lend support to those who feel that monopoly (at least in local services) like Telus Communication Inc should not given carte blanche for increase in local rates. For unlike competitive industry such as PC manufacturers who continue to offer more values at less cost to their consumers, the monopolies would grab as much as the regulations would allow. Thank you.
