The Back-and-Forth Swing of the Wholesale Rates Pendulum

The CRTC proceeding to explore the possibility of mandating access to fibre-to-the-premises for smaller competitors has not only been delayed due to last-minute filings by the incumbents, but also has taken place behind closed doors, with little reporting on what’s happening.

The Wire Report has obtained and analyzed exclusive documents not yet posted to the CRTC’s website telling the behind-the-scenes of the proceeding.

For more on the magnitude of the wholesale policy shift, The Wire Report’s new book, The Back-and-Forth Swing of the Wholesale Rates Pendulum, looks back to before the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to understand the “why” behind the swinging telecommunications industry.
