The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says it has hired a third-party engineering firm to investigate the massive Rogers outage of 2022, but critics say the regulator is moving too slow to probe the company and to further push telecoms to be upfront about outages.

People walk past a Rogers store in Toronto amid the company's massive service outage that started on July 8, 2022. The CRTC has hired the engineering consulting firm Xona Partners to provide a report on the network crash and 'help inform what further regulatory action is needed.'

People try to use their phone outside a Toronto coffee shop amid the outage. Some Canadians went for days without cellphone and internet access. Emergency services were all disrupted. "We can't see how that engineering firm is doing its work. We also don't know if the eventual report will be made public, or redacted, or mostly confidential, or partly confidential. And I think the public would like to know just what occurred at Rogers."The crash, which started on July 8, 2022, shut down critical phone and internet services — from government and business offices to Interac purchasing and, most notably, for emergency services.
