This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.BCE Inc. and Canada’s biggest cable companies are heading to court to seek an appeal of last month’s CRTC ruling on wholesale internet rates.
Last month’s ruling set lower final rates for certain wholesale services and also ordered the large providers to make retroactive payments to the third-party operators to account for the higher prices charged since the CRTC set interim rates in 2016. Parties to a CRTC ruling have 30 days from the decision to seek leave to appeal in the Federal Court of Appeal. Friday was the last business day before that deadline.
They state that the CRTC engaged in “results-oriented” reasoning and methodologies and failed to take into account a policy direction from the federal government that requires the regulator to encourage companies to invest in their own networks. Also Friday, TekSavvy said it plans to offer 85 per cent of its customers either lower prices or upgrades on their internet plans and cited the CRTC ruling as its reason for doing so.

Good old Canadian tradition of no competition, just squeeze every cent out of us.
