They're only 'competing' in the Canadian version of competition where there is only one choice, or the government allows them to operate a cartel, or the government regulates competition away, like in industries telecoms, railways, airlines, dairy, banking...
I'm sure Cochrane could sell internet cheaper than the incumbents, given that we pay some of the highest costs for internet in the world and higher than third world countries. If they can pull it off, it's a great idea, but I'm sure our consumer-hating regulators and governments will throw a wrench in it.
