CRTC Back in February BCE Telus and Rogers met with CRTC. It's good to see the CRTC was willing to listen and compromise
"“The Commission’s view that there would be – and I quote: ‘minimal risk’ regarding investments in fibre by accelerating wholesale FTTP (fibre-to-the-premises) was dead wrong. The question in this final phase of the proceeding is whether the Commission will double down, or pause and consider how investment incentives can be restored while maintaining the vigorous price competition that is so clearly occurring in the marketplace.”
The company also proposed a number of conditions if the CRTC were to mandate wholesale internet access, including only mandating speeds of up to 1.5Gbps and that fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) access would only apply to a location five years after the network was deployed there. These measures, Bell argued, would help reduce the negative impact on investment.
Telus also claimed that if the CRTC imposes a wholesale mandate, it should be narrowly tailored, for instance, to exempt rural and remote areas as well as high-cost buried fibre. A wholesale mandate, it added, should not be available to cable companies to access in their own serving territories, as this will result over time in the consolidation of a single physical network, creating vulnerabilities during natural disasters, technical failures and more."
