Local and regional internet service providers are hopeful that government regulations will encourage more choice and competition for Canadians, but now is the right time to act in response to the major difficulties facing the country’s economy.
Local and regional internet service providers, trade associations, consumer groups, competition experts, and others have all urged the CRTC to renounce the Big Three’s retail access policy.

The CRTC must act quickly to close this lull in order for Canadians to have more and reasonably priced options for digital services.
