Canada’s telecommunications regulator issued a landmark decision Thursday aimed at spurring competition in the wireless market, but some industry watchers say the changes will leave incumbents largely unaffected.
In a long-awaited ruling, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission stated it will mandate Canada’s Big Three wireless companies, plus SaskTel, to give regional wireless providers that invest in spectrum and infrastructure wholesale access to their networks for seven years.

BCE 2020 Annual Report highlights Environmental, Social and Governance strategy
MONTRÉAL, March 11, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell today celebrated its status as the first North American communications company to achieve ISO 50001 certification for energy management by announcing a plan to be carbon neutral across its operations in 2025. We are proud to build on Bell s strong record of environmental leadership by announcing our objective to achieve carbon neutral operations across Canada s largest communications company in 2025, said Gordon Nixon, Chair of the Board of BCE Inc. Bell s goal is to advance how Canadians connect with each other and the world, a purpose enabled by consistent execution of the highest environmental, social and governance standards across the company s operations.
In the mid-1990s, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) decided not to regulate the nascent cellular phone industry, which now generates $43 billion annually for the Canadian economy. It would be left to the marketplace to provide services that consumers wanted, the CRTC and federal government decided. The problem, say critics of Canada s wireless industry, is that with the huge success of three companies under this system, there s little room for competition in Canada. Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI), Telus (TSX:T) and BCE Inc. (Bell) (TSX:BCE) and their subsidiaries – Fido, Koodo and Virgin Mobile Canada, respectively – own about 92% of all wireless subscriptions in Canada, according to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association.
