OTTAWA – The CRTC on Monday yanked the basic international telecommunications services licences of 37 companies that it says have failed to comply with the conditions of licence.
All entities that provide basic international telecommunications services (BITS) to Canadians are required to be licensed by the Commission. As a condition of licence, licensees are subject to annual reporting requirements.
“Despite Commission requests that licensees comply with these filing requirements, a number of licensees failed to comply”, reads TD CRTC 2019-59. “Consequently, on 19 December 2018, the Commission, in accordance with subsection 16.4(1) of the Act, sent by registered mail a notice of intent to revoke the BITS licences of those licensees that had failed to comply with their conditions of licence. The licensees were given until 15 January 2019 to file the required information with the Commission or make representations by the same date as to why they should not be required to comply with the conditions of licence.”
According to the decision, the following 37 companies failed to file the required information or make representations:
