Canada’s telecom regulator has taken the next step toward setting final wholesale roaming rates for wireless carriers – a complicated process to be sure, but one with significant implications for the competitive structure of the industry.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission last week approved interim “tariffs” submitted by the Big Three telecom companies – Rogers Communications Inc., Telus Corp. and BCE Inc. – for the wholesale rates the trio can charge competitors for voice, data and text messages when their customers roam outside their home coverage area. The CRTC is expected to set final rates in mid-2016.
