This CRTC decision requires that facilities-based competitors like Bell Canada (Bell) allow use of their state-of-the-art communications networks by resale- based competitors at substantially reduced prices that are, in the case of Bell, below its costs incurred to build those networks.

Don't try to perform operations you learn about here (or elsewhere) unless you're certain they are safe for you. If something about an operation doesn't feel right, don't do it. Look for another way. We want you to enjoy the craft, so please keep safety foremost in your mind whenever you're in the shop.
