Thomas Ross, professor at the UBC Sauder School of Business, says Canada being a big and expensive country to run networks, combined with low population density, means there will always be limits to the telecom options.
Ross also says the feds could force Canada's telecom giants to sell wholesale access to their networks at much more favourable prices to facilitate the growth of Mobile Virtual Network Operators , which buy network service from major carriers at a wholesale rate. Chatham, Ont.-based independent phone and internet provider TekSavvy Solutions Inc. says that the federal government needs to go a step further and “clean up” the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission , revamp the competition laws and allow for greater enforcement of these laws.
“It's going to determine whether they are really serious about fostering competition in telecom and lowering prices for consumers, or whether they are just interested in allowing these big companies to keep having their profits,” he said.
