Smaller companies offer competitive and innovative choices to Canadians, by using access they have purchased at wholesale prices from the large companies,"; said Jean-Pierre Blais, Chairman of the CRTC. "Today's guidelines will increase transparency and allow Canadians to better understand how we establish wholesale rates." Rates for wholesale services are based on the cost of providing the service plus an allowable markup. Markups contribute to costs that have not been accounted for, such as corporate overheads and past network investments. Once companies submit their costs and proposed rates to the CRTC, that information is made public. With this additional data, interested parties will be able to provide a more informed analysis. Companies will continue to have the right to protect competitively sensitive information, and other parties can continue to request disclosure of any such information. The CRTC will rule on any disclosure requests using the new guidelines. -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

InvalidError join:2008-02-03 kudos:5	reply to Gone said by Gone: This is huge, no more filings "in confidence" or any bullshit like that. "Companies will still have the right to protect competitively sensitive information." In other words companies will still be able to file stuff "in confidence" if they can prove that it is sensitive enough, which is pretty much what companies were already doing. The new rules may raise the bar on what may be filed "in confidence" but you can bet your shorts that not everything will be public.

Guspaz Guspaz Premium,MVM join:2001-11-05 Montreal, QC kudos:20	reply to TSI Marc This is just... bizarro world. The CRTC is releasing decision after decision that is in the best interests of the Canadian public rather than the multi-billion dollar corporation, but at the same time I can't keep help but feeling that any second now the CRTC will rip off a mask revealing an evil monster and cackle menacingly... The about-face change from "regulatory capture" to "consumer advocate" is just so sudden and dramatic... I'm cautiously optimistic about what we'll see a similar attitude when they eventually rule on new UBB rates or FTTH access... -- Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org

(not me, I am one of those lucky ones that didn't have any install issues) Don't put the poor guy through that.
