Ian Scott is the current chair. He's an ex-Telus exec: » Government to name industry veteran Ian Scott as new head of the CRTC scott The last chair was Jean-Pierre Blais. He's the pro-consumer Chair you are thinking of. Even Blais wasn't completely wonderful .. there was a lot of time spent on superficial pro-consumer stuff, distracting from the important job of building a sensible foundation for the future. |

Balanced decision making means no party will be happy with the decision... Just saying. |

Don't worry, unless Bibic wants to gloat, we won't likely hear about it from CTV et al... Except if he wants to whine about the unfair ruling, "I'm taking my network investment and going home!". |

Really, at the risk of sounding like our PM, these should be decisions that virtually make themselves. Unlike earlier years, there is evidence to show them where the rates should be: Fizz, Virgin, etc.
Given their rates, and the fixed costs of running such a business (utilities, equipment, support and NOC staff, etc), the access rates must be some less-than-100 percentage of those providers' lowest rates for each speed grade. Also, given that Virgin offers their service over fibre, the decision carries over to wholesale fibre as well. Since they can afford to offer services at their advertised rates, the wholesale rates must reflect that. So, realising this, the bright minds at the CRTC have crunched the numbers and prepared the rulings (yes, both) and will announce them today. Either that, or Scott must be fired for incompetence and/or collusion. |

Asinine is still relative to your prospective. Asinine could be, "We give up. Do whatever the hell you want." Or it could be, "People are better off without the Internet. Shut it all down." But some would welcome either decision. |

The bottom line is, prices are never going to go down. Look at the failure of channel choice regs in cable TV world. Sure you can buy the five channels that you wanted outside a bundle -- for $19.95 each... |

i've got a set of balloon for a positive case, and a bottle of cheap vodka to get drunk in case of a negative decision.

So... am I reading this right and that it's essentially status Quo and there's no drop at all? |

About as bad as it could be. Total walk back. |

Yup, had a quick look at the tables and it looks like we got completely hosed. |

Wow, and to top it off they'll likely still deny IISP to FTTP |

Yeah the quebec paper article says 2016 rates upheld, I’m not seeing the big downside here. Reading the decision myself, it also appears like the commission acknowledges the disputes, but still upholds past decisions. Teddy Boom when you’re ready would love to hear your thoughts? |

Teddy Boom when you’re ready would love to hear your thoughts? In 2019 the CRTC made another ruling the drastically dropped all of the prices on capacity and flatted all of the access rates. If I read it correctly the CRTC just essentially reversed the 2019 decision. |

LMAO! Can't say I'm surprised though. Par for the course. » mobilesyrup.com/2021/05/ ··· GhfBrOfo |

How do these new rates compare to the 2016 interim rate decision? |
