Hi,
=20
Hoping someone may be able to help.
=20
Could someone please point me in the direction of any legislation /
regulations that would effect providers of "Internet access" (DSL &
Metro Ethernet) services to residential and business customers located
in the US and Canada.
=20
Am I correct in my understanding that a Canadian registered company will
also be able to sell services in the US because of NAFTA (and visa
versa). But that without a domestically registered company in the US or
Canada (i.e. a UK company), this would cause problems, tax / financial
or regulatory in provision of communication services in North America.
=20
While we are on the subject we were looking at Bell Canada and New Edge
for Wholesale DSL. If there are other people think I should be looking
at as well please private mail me. Both the above are PoPed in
Vancouver/Seattle and that is where I was looking to pick up the
Wholesale Networks.
TIA
=20
Kind Regards
Ben Butler
