 Presently, cable is provided to most cities and towns, depending on the region, by companies such as Rogers, Shaw, Vidéotron, Cogeco, Cable Axion, and EastLink.Most of these "first-generation" cable companies do not compete with each other, as the CRTC has traditionally licensed only one cable provider per market.Even in markets where more than one distributor has been licensed, each has an exclusive territory within the market.
