BCE Inc. is appealing a ruling from Canada’s telecom regulator to the federal cabinet, arguing the decision forcing it to give small Internet providers access to its highest-speed fibre broadband services will lead to lower investment.
The Montreal-based company is also asking the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to “review and vary” a separate part of the decision, which the regulator issued on July 22.
BCE filed a petition to the Governor in Council seeking a review of the decision on Tuesday, which, in addition to being the day after Liberals secured a majority government in the federal election, was the end of a 90-day timeline for such appeals.
