    2. What criteria you would use to define categories of service?
    3. What services would be included and excluded from them, why?
    4. How would the distinction between categories of service be compliant with section 27(2) of the Telecommunications Act.
  2. Provide examples of situations, in or outside Canada, where you did not launch, ceased offering your service, or scaled down your offering because of the existence or prospect of an ISP offering or introducing differential pricing practices.
  3. Describe each instance, both in and outside Canada, where you have lost customers or traffic likely as a result of an ISP introducing differential pricing.
  4. Have you sought a differential pricing advantage from an ISP for your service? If so, describe the advantage you sought and whether you were successful in seeking it.
