Canada s telecommunications regulator has ordered the dominant operators to take steps to increase competition in a market that has some of the world s highest billing rates, although the measure fell short of what some analysts had expected. The move comes more than a year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau s Liberal government asked the telecoms companies to cut bills by 25% or face consequences after high mobile bills became a hot button issue in the 2019 elections. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) said the telecoms firms should offer wholesale wireless access to so-called Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), smaller outfits such as Videotron in Quebec that can then resell the capacity at reduced retail prices and pass on the savings to consumers.
Canada Tells Wireless Firms to Sell Access to Networks

(Bloomberg) Canada issued new rules to bring down wireless costs, forcing large carriers including BCE Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc. resell access to their networks to smaller players.
The decision by the telecommunications regulator makes it easier for regional telecommunications providers such as Quebecor Inc. and Cogeco Communications Inc. to compete on wireless plans with the sector’s three dominant companies Rogers, BCE and Telus Corp.
But only companies that own spectrum in Canada will be eligible to participate in the “mobile virtual network operator” framework, cutting out foreign players because of domestic ownership rules. It applies for seven years, according to the decision released Thursday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
