The federal department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development first announced a proposed new policy direction last May and on Monday itThe direction, along with recent comments from the CRTC’s newly appointed chair, are the latest indication that change could be coming for Canada’s beleaguered wholesale internet market.
The official said that during a public consultation last summer, the large companies argued the policy direction was unnecessary and more regulation was inadvisable, and even challenged its legality.
