The CRTC on Wednesday directed Bell and Telus to each provide Quebecor and Rogers with a list of all of the locations where their FTTP services are available by March 13 and after concluding reasonable non-disclosure agreements with the parties.
This decision approves a September 2024 application from Quebecor that asked the CRTC to tell legacy telcos to disclose their lists of FTTP locations in full to Quebecor, after each of the incumbents allegedly informed Quebecor they were willing to disclose their FTTP locations in Quebec if Quebecor identified its own wireline incumbent footprint in…

Rogers is warning Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) that if the department forces direct-to-home satellite broadcasting services (DTH) off the extended Ku (xKu) band, then its ability to provide broadcasting services to rural and remote communities will be negatively impacted.

In a letter last week, the CRTC has asked Canada’s largest mobile providers to file additional information regarding the international roaming offerings they have launched to date, as the commission continues to monitor the big three telecoms’ progress in providing more affordable and flexible roaming options.
The letter comes after the CRTC last year directed Bell, Rogers and Telus to file progress reports on May 5 and Nov. 5, 2025, with information on any new offerings launched, as well as on the price and consumer uptake of their offerings. The three telecoms…
