Mirko Bibic says that if the rates are set too low, companies such as his will be forced to curtail their investments, particularly in smaller, rural communities

Canada’s telecom industry is “moving rapidly” toward regulatory intervention that threatens to stall investment in high-speed internet networks in rural communities, BCE Inc.’s chief executive says.

In its notice of consultation, the CRTC states the risk of discouraging future investments in fibre-optic networks is “minimal” because those networks are mostly built. He also cautioned that regulations that place the interests of resellers over those of builders could have negative unintended consequences on the country’s critical infrastructure.
