In July, after a long public proceeding in which thousands of pages of economic evidence were submitted and an oral hearing was held, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued a landmark ruling (CRTC 2015-326) that will enable Canadian consumers to have access to the fastest Internet speeds available at affordable prices.
In a nutshell, the CRTC required the largest telecommunications companies, such as Bell Canada, to provide independent competitors access to their “fibre to the home” networks at rates designed to compensate the large telecommunications providers for the cost and risk associated with building these advanced networks.
