Summary

This study measures the effects of the first five years of long distance competition on residential consumers. It examines how competition theory has informed the development of competition in the long distance market, and contains a quantitative analysis of the extent to which residential consumers have benefited from long distance competition. The study documents that the real benefits the average Canadian has experienced from changes in the long distance market are surprisingly modest.
