No wireless win-back rules, and other clarifications

OTTAWA – With the wireless number portability deadline about 10 months away (March 14, 2007), the CRTC on Thursday cleared up a number of issues related to WNP.For example, since the Commission considers the wireless market pretty competitive, there will be no win-back restrictions as there are in the wireline market, where incumbent telcos are not allowed to contact a lost customer for 90 days. Other issues, such as trunking arrangements, E9-1-1 and porting issues are all addressed in the decision.www.crtc.gc.ca
