Allstream can trace its roots back to the 2 Canadian Railway telegraph systems and was the first long distance competitor to the ILEC's in Canada. It went through a number of owners including being managed by AT&T before being bought by Manitoba Telecom (the ILEC in Manitoba (204/431 area codes))

MTS is getting about 50 % of what they paid for it in 2004 and seem to be happy to get that.
