Abstract:
The Commission hereby initiates a proceeding to review certain elements of its regulatory framework for Northwestel. The Commission intends to identify issues within the regulatory framework and put forward solutions (i) with a view to implementing the telecommunications policy objectives set out in the Telecommunications Act, and (ii) in accordance with the 2006 Policy Direction and the 2019 Policy Direction.
In its review, the Commission will assess the state of telecommunications in Canada’s North and will consider, among other things, the affordability of telecommunications services for Canadians living there and whether telecommunications services in the North should be subsidized. Further, the Commission will consider whether additional regulatory measures are required, for example, to improve the resiliency of Northwestel’s network, or to further foster competition and improve wholesale services.
