TORONTO – Independent telecom provider TekSavvy Solutions Inc. has shelved plans for more wireless services and may exit some internet markets as a result of Thursday’s CRTC decision on wholesale internet rates.
TekSavvy’s spokesman, Andy Kaplan-Myrth, says it’s too soon to predict whether it will raise its prices because of the decision.
The Chatham, Ont.-based company had expected to get some money back from what it has paid since 2016 to rent bandwidth on the networks of larger cable and phone companies, a rate the CRTC previously ruled was too high.
