Liberals give big 3 wireless providers two years to cut prices by 25 per cent | CBC News

Ottawa also announces new spectrum auction rules that could open up the wireless market to new players.

Ottawa The liberals should stay the hell out of free enterprise and allow free competition

Ottawa for 2G...we're moving to 5G.

Ottawa That’s still not phenomenal, not even close. Australia is waaaaaay cheaper, as is almost everywhere in Asia!

Ottawa I do hope this is true! Costs right now are ridiculous!!!

Ottawa Love it! A out time

Ottawa Our kids in uk pay 20£ for 10GB/month. When we visit we buy, pay as you go cards for 10£ slip into our Canadian iPhones and have 5 GB data - free texts

Ottawa As much as I welcome this feels like too little too late when I can get a European plan with over 300gb of data for the equivalent of $50 and change

Ottawa That's about the same time left in their mandate 'running' our country ! I'll be polite here so I'll just 'Let my finger do the walking'

Ottawa Lower wireless and NOT raise other fees (cable, cell).

Ottawa Oh like the cable companies had to offer fair & affordable cable packages~yeah that worked 🙄

Ottawa TWO YEARS?!!!!!

Ottawa Very important and needed move by the Liberal government. For years the 'big 3' have gone unchecked when taking advantage of Canadian's hard earned wallets. ThankYouTrudeau CdnPoli Bell Rogers Telus

Ottawa Tricks they can use to get around this, even though I have a locked in contract they raised my bundle package price, I will follow through with a CRTC/CCTS complaint to see how the process works

Ottawa They will start raising prices now and tell us it's for 'improvements to service' so then after 2 years the prices will go down but they really remain the same!! makesense? stillrapingus getridofthemonopoly

Ottawa

Ottawa what does Huawei have to say about this ? must appease the Chinese

Ottawa Trudeau doesn't have what it takes to implement it

Ottawa It could be done this year. The big companies will get around this somehow

Ottawa Good luck not using Chinese government subsidized Huawei spy products for our internet tech in Canada with that kind of price pressure. This is clearly a policy for China's benefit not the consumer.

Ottawa Just compare cell plan prices between Ontario and Michigan. Especially data.

Ottawa This is wonderful news - don'tcha think so too ?

Ottawa The Big 3 now have two years to find a way around this mandate. And you know they'll get that money back somehow. Smooth move once more, JustinTrudeau.

Ottawa Sure it will.
