OTTAWA – The CRTC has pulled together a special taskforce to investigate issues and concerns around wireless roaming.
In an internal memo to staff on Tuesday, the Commission said that the new Wireless Taskforce comes as a result of consumer concerns expressed over the last year “with respect to the rates, terms, and conditions associated with wireless roaming”.
“In response to these concerns, Commission staff has conducted some wireless roaming research using publicly available information. Recently, we launched a fact finding exercise on wireless roaming to gather confidential information. The data that has been reviewed to date indicates the need to investigate the roaming question further”, reads the memo.
The mandate of the Taskforce is to present options for consideration at the upcoming December Commission meeting, the memo continues. Led by Andrew Falcone, Taskforce members include Bill Mason, Kim Wardle, Adam Mills, Catherine Lemieux and Alastair Stewart.
