The Canadian government said on Monday it was directing the country’s telecommunications regulator to reconsider a recent decision it says excludes Wi-Fi-based providers from broadening their access via other companies.
Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains said in a speech a decision made by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in March effectively prevents such providers from offering their low-cost plans.
The CRTC ruled then that wireless startup Sugar Mobile, an affiliate of Ice Wireless, could not continue to use Rogers Communications Inc’s network to keep customers connected outside the reach of Sugar’s wireless network.
