Still governmental requirements have to be met whether we like them or not.  Refusing to change the policy to allow Canadian cable providers to serve their customers is opposite of ARIN's mission to facilitate the advancement of the Internet.

Some say it's government some say it's the cable companies; can anyone
clearly cite the relevant regulation? If not, this doesn't need to be
policy.

I would oppose the proposal if it's just the cable company trying to be
difficult when competitors want to use their infrastructure.
