المحكمة ترفض طلب بيل بإيقاف حكم الوصول إلى ألياف CRTC مؤقتًا • Phones Canada News

The Federal Court of Appeal has rejected Bell’s request for a stay against the CRTC’s decision to allow independent ISPs wholesale access to its fiber network. This decision comes after Bell announced job cuts of 4,800 positions, blaming the CRTC for causing these job losses.

In November, the CRTC mandated major telcos, including Bell and Telus, to grant access to their fiber-to-the-home networks to competitors in Ontario and Quebec within six months. Bell’s request for a court appeal against the CRTC’s interim decision and a motion for a stay that would postpone competitors’ access to its network were acknowledged for a hearing but were ultimately rejected.

The CRTC’s decision was aimed at increasing internet competition. The regulator’s current hearing features testimonies from 22 groups, including Rogers, Telus, and Bell. Bell has already stated that the CRTC decisions have forced it to cut capital expenditures and cap its fiber internet speeds to 3 Gbps, ditching its 5 Gbps and 8 Gbps speeds.

John Lawford from the Public Interest Advocacy Centre urged the CRTC not to succumb to the “threats of investment withdrawal” by large carriers, emphasizing that “The commission has a mandate to achieve the telecommunications policy objectives, not to return monopoly rent to incumbents.”

It is essential for regulatory decisions like these to balance the interests of all stakeholders. As technology continues to evolve rapidly in Canada’s telecommunications market, it is crucial that fair competition is promoted while also ensuring that incumbent companies can continue investing in improving their networks.
