  • An Introduction to Telecommunications Policy in Canada
    Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy An Introduction to Telecommunications Policy in Canada Catherine Middleton Ryerson University Abstract: This paper provides an introduction to telecommunications policy in Canada, outlining the regulatory and legislative environment governing the provision of telecommunications services in the country and describing basic characteristics of its retail telecommunications services market. It was written in 2017 as one in a series of papers describing international telecommunications policies and markets published in the Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy in 2016 and 2017. Drawing primarily from regulatory and policy documents, the discussion focuses on broad trends, central policy objectives and major players involved in building and operating Canada’s telecommunications infrastructure. The paper is descriptive rather than evaluative, and does not offer an exhaustive discussion of all telecommunications policy issues, markets and providers in Canada. Keywords: Policy; Telecommunications; Canada Introduction In 2017, Canada’s population was estimated to be above 36.5 million people (Statistics Canada, 2017). Although Canada has a large land mass and low population density, more than 80% of Canadiansi live in urban areas, the majority in close proximity to the border with the United States (Central Intelligence Agency, 2017). Telecommunications services are easily accessible for most, but not all, Canadians. Those in lower-income brackets and/or living in rural and remote areas are less likely to subscribe to telecommunications services than people in urban areas or with higher incomes, and high-quality mobile and Internet services are simply not available in some parts of the country (CRTC, 2017a). On average, Canadian households spend more than $200 (CAD)ii per month to access mobile phone, Internet, television and landline phone services (2015 data, cited in CRTC, 2017a).

For more detail on sector trends, please see our August 21, 2020 report entitled "Q2/20 Review - Wireless Competitive Intensity in Focus (Again)". EQUITY RESEARCH Notable sequential pick-up in promotional activity with what appears to be less back-to- school fanfare We observed a healthy dose of main brand promotional activity in August focused on the 20GB data bucket that was largely characterized by handset and plan pricing discounts, alongside what appears to be less YoY back-to-school promotional activity. On a sequential basis, promotional activity not surprisingly stepped up in August driven by incumbent responses to the launch of Shaw Mobile last month. Notably: (i) the iPhone 11 was offered on discount (~$520 off) by incumbent operators on refurbishing unlimited plans; (ii) in mid-August, while pricing on the promotional $80/20GB unlimited plans was momentarily increased to $85/20GB, $75/20GB pricing was re-introduced by all incumbents with this pricing remaining in-market through the end of August; (iii) in mid-August, TELUS launched a ‘Great Big Sale’ offering the aforementioned $75/20GB “Peace of Mind”
