OTTAWA – The CRTC will hold a proceeding to review the local, wireless, and toll network interconnection regulatory regimes.
In a notice of hearing issued on Wednesday, the Commission said that the principle objectives of this proceeding are to determine to what extent:
– existing interconnection regimes can be simplified and consolidated;
– changes are necessary to enhance competition and, thus, benefit consumers; and
– changes are necessary to ensure technological neutrality.
The proceeding will include a public hearing in Gatineau beginning on October 24 and is expected to last approximately five days. Should additional time be required, the hearing may last until November 4, 2011.
