The move comes after Bell and Telus said they would increase their daily prices in early March

Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne has asked Canada’s telecom regulator to review price hikes for international roaming fees, a lucrative revenue source for telecom companies, after Bell and Telus said they would increase their daily prices in early March.

He noted that the increase in roaming fees was particularly concerning given that prices for those services are declining in other jurisdictions, and because these fees are often unpredictable and difficult to understand. Bell Canada said it was raising its U.S. roaming prices by $1 to $13, and its international roaming charge by $1 to $16.
