Globe says CRTC helps Big Three telcos get even bigger

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that we will one day look back at 2025 and marvel at how Canadians and their governments came together to confront a new economic reality by doing everything possible to accelerate economic growth, increase productivity and remove regulatory barriers to investment and innovation. Guest columnist Frédéric Perron writes all Canadians, that is, except for the CRTC. On Friday, June 20, the CRTC tripled down on a decision that would let the Big Three telcos resell services through the Internet networks of their rivals. That will lead to less competition and investment in the broadband infrastructure we need to thrive as a country. Mr. Perron, chief executive officer of Cogeco, says the wholesale framework was intended to benefit smaller players who lack the infrastructure they need to compete effectively. That framework was not intended for the reverse -- for Telus, Rogers and Bell to not only resell each other's networks but those of their much smaller competitors as well. Under this policy, the Big Three can use regulation, which is normally designed to curb the dominance of big players, to get even bigger. This flawed policy will hurt investment and competition.
