The proposed new policy directs the CRTC to improve the rates that Canada’s large phone and cable companies can charge smaller internet providers for access to their broadband networks

Ottawa has issued a new proposed policy directive for the telecom sector that emphasizes competition and affordability in the Internet and mobile phone markets and instructs the federal telecom regulator to improve its wholesale network access regimes.

The federal government is also instructing the CRTC to improve its regime governing wireless network access for eligible regional competitors “as necessary.” However, the CRTC stopped short of opening up national wireless networks to competitors without their own infrastructure, known in the industry as mobile virtual network operators, or MVNOs.
