Price may help a bit, but not much for the incumbants, so playing the premium, reliable, predictable quality is the right strategy for SaskTel. This is more the case in Sask. where there aren't so many VoIP Providers like Rogers orVbuzzer offering high end home phone and pc to phone software. I just wonder what they have been waiting for? Or there is no decision to "wait" at all, it is just a coincidence with the new CRTC policy.

Sasktel has been in the VoIP business for several years (early for an incumbent telco), but refrained from offering service in Saskatchewan due to the regulatory constraints.

However, even there they began offering services under a CRTC tariff earlier this year.

Due to the recent cabinet ruling, they have simply extended their out-of-province pricing to customers within Saskatchewan.
