The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that the Canadian telecom landscape is a battlefield, with fierce competition, high debts, eroding prices and market saturation. Guest columnist and telco lobbyist Dvai Ghose writes that what is less discussed is regulatory inconsistency. In February, 2023, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne instructed the CRTC to create a regulatory framework for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) resale -- resale of high-speed Internet. The CRTC complied by mandating that Bell and Telus facilitate resale. But here is where the current uncertainty begins. The CRTC concluded that if the aim is to reduce Internet prices, all carriers should be allowed to be resellers for FTTH -- including Bell, Rogers and Telus, as long as they were reselling in markets where they were not incumbents. Surely this was desirable as it meant that Bell, Telus, Rogers, Quebecor and Cogeco could all resell outside their home markets, leading to as many as five providers for each market. Bizarrely, Mr. Champagne asked the CRTC to reconsider. If Mr. Champagne's override stands, he will have achieved an unfortunate feat: creating a "competitive" framework that actively reduces competition and investment.
