If the first step toward solving an issue comes from admitting there is a problem, Canada took a big leap forward last week in addressing the weak competitive landscape of wireless services that form the backbone of modern communications and commerce. Navdeep Bains, the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development, used a keynote speech to the telecom industry to kick-start government action and remove any doubt about its frustration with the competitive state of the sector.
Much like the Conservatives before it, the Liberal government has concluded that the Canadian wireless market suffers from insufficient competition, which leads to high prices, low adoption rates relative to other developed countries and affordability concerns for consumers with low household income.
