New three-year plan
OTTAWA-GATINEAU – The CRTC has released its new three-year plan that includes a review of the CBC, a decision on phasing out the local service subsidy regime, and a potential overhaul of the framework for interconnection between carriers.
Other planned activities include licence renewals for the country’s biggest BDUs, its new broadband funding mechanism, and a concerted effort to improve Canadians with disabilities’ awareness and knowledge of available accessibility products and services.
Those initiatives are among the goals that the Commission has outlined for completion during 2017-2020 under the pillars of ‘create’, ‘connect’, and ‘protect’, that support its overarching objective of providing Canadians with access to a world-class communication system.
