Re: Re: Panel Recommends CRTC be Gutted
by François
I think Mark has reached a new plateau in demonstrating lack of understanding as to how the CRTC works. In the next 18 months, the CRTC will have to conduct the same kind of SMP analysis which has been done in EU under the new Ex-Ante framework under which Canada will be moving to. The end-result is that each and every regulated service of Bell Canada will be determined to be part of a market where Bell Canada holds SMP and consequently will be subjected to regulation at the wholesale level. This is pretty much what is the situation right now. Arguing that the market is regulated is such a bad understanding of the current framework that it is not only misleading but detrimental to the public interest. The TPR report is lacking substance on all fronts but does require the government to set agencies which have been created in other countries which have preserved the same regulatory load on ILECs. What the ILECs are hoping is that the government will do a half-ass job at creating the TCT and you can be sure that competitors will not simply stand by. In the end, it may be more detrimental to the ILECs then the current framework. Stay tuned. F.
