GATINEAU – After the CRTC found Iristel and Telus in breach of the Telecommunications Act, the former for traffic simulation in the 867 area code and the latter for the actions it took against Iristel, the Commission started a process to determine whether an Administrative Monetary Penalty should be imposed.
Without surprise, Iristel immediately asked the Commission to review and vary and to stay the decision.
CNOC supported the stay request, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre asked the deadline be postponed and Telus asked for the process to be suspended (it may well have an R&V of its own on the way).
“In the circumstances of the present case, the outcome of Iristel’s application to review and vary Telecom Decision 2020-268 may impact the proceeding. In light of this, the Commission considers that it would be inappropriate to continue with the proceeding while it considers the application filed by Iristel,” reads the CRTC decision.
So, the proceeding is suspended until further notice.
