Competition Bureau confirms Big Three blocking Canadians from affordable wireless options

Competition Bureau submission amounts to independent confirmation that the Big Three telecom giants are using their power and control to block Canadians from independent wireless options.

Responding to today's Competition Bureau submission to the CRTC consultation on domestic wireless roaming rates, OpenMedia.ca Executive Director Steve Anderson said:

"Today's Competition Bureau submission amounts to independent confirmation that the Big Three telecom giants are using their power and control to block Canadians from independent wireless options. This is keeping prices ridiculously high and holding back our economy and our country."

"Canadians deserve robust action to ensure that affordable, independent wireless choices are available to all cell phone users. That means opening the networks by splitting them from the Big Three so that all providers, large and small, can operate on a level playing field."
