Globe/CP say Big Three telcos face fines over junk fees

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that the CRTC is launching a review to determine if the Big Three telcos have violated its new rules banning so-called junk fees. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says the telecom regulator said Tuesday it will require BCE, Telus and Rogers to demonstrate their fees do not contravene its policy. The new regulations came into effect June 12 prohibiting activation, modification and cancellation fees in a bid to make it easier for customers to switch Internet and cellphone plans without having to worry about unexpected costs. If the commission determines the companies have violated the rules, they could face monetary penalties of up to $10-million while relevant managers could be penalized up to $25,000. The CRTC could also order the providers to comply with the policy within 60 days. Bell, Telus and Rogers have until July 30 to submit comments. A deadline of Aug. 10 is in place for the companies to respond to matters raised during the review. In May, Bell introduced a $40 device-handling fee, while Telus charged $15 fee for customers switching to a new SIM card, and Rogers charged customers a new $40 device-setup fee, a $25 shipping charge and a SIM card fee.
