I would think that Shaw if required would haul it back to Calgary on a separate
channel. It may be IP or TDM but I think it is pretty safe to say it is not
Internet. The bandwidth between cities is so cheap that for players like Shaw I
would think they would have separate circuits. In anycase THE Internet is not in
Winnipeg for Shaw customers. Except for BigPipe customers (like UofM) we really
only get on the Internet in Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, etc. It is all private
Shaw/BigPipe links out of Wpg.
