NAKOS, RAINER SCHOENEN and DANIEL SOKOLOV Respondents NOTICE OF MOTION (Motion for leave to appeal, to expedite, to authorize service by email and to dispense with further service) TAKE NOTICE THAT the applicants will make a motion in writing to the Court under Rules 352 and 369 of the Federal Courts Rules. 2 - 2 - THE MOTION IS FOR an order (a) granting leave to appeal to this Court from Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2013-271, issued by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) on 3 June 2013, establishing the Wireless Code (the “Wireless Code decision”), insofar as it purports to give the Wireless Code retrospective application to wireless service contracts entered into between wireless service providers and their customers before the Wireless Code comes into force; (b) expediting the disposition of this motion in writing and, if leave to appeal is granted, expediting the hearing of the appeal by setting it down for the earliest date available to the Court; (c) if the relief requested in paragraphs (a) and (b) is granted, fixing the time for completion of the steps in the appeal in accordance with the timetable at Schedule A; (d) directing that the respondents to this motion, and if leave to appeal is granted, to the appeal, be the persons and entities listed as respondents in the style of cause to this notice of motion; (e) validating service of the motion record on the respondents by email at the addresses listed at Schedule B to the notice of motion and on the other parties to the CRTC’s Proceeding to establish a mandatory code for mobile wireless devices, Telecom Notice of Consultation 2012-557, as amended by Telecom Notices of Consultation 2012-557-1, 2012-557-2, 2012-557-3, 2012-557-4 and 2012-557-5 (the “Wireless Code proceeding”) by email at the addresses listed at Exhibit D to the Meldrum affidavit; (f) if leave to appeal is granted, authorizing service of the notice of appeal on the respondents by email at the addresses listed at Schedule B to the notice of motion and on the other parties to the Wireless Code proceeding by email at the addresses listed at Exhibit D to the Meldrum affidavit; (g) dispensing with service of the motion record, and if leave to appeal is granted, of the notice of appeal, on any person or entity other than the CRTC, the Attorney 3 - 3 - General of Canada and the persons and entities listed in Exhibit D to the Meldrum affidavit who provided their email address to the CRTC; (h) granting the applicants their costs of this motion; and (i) granting such further relief as this Court may deem just. THE GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION ARE The applicants’ participation before the CRTC (a) The applicants are wireless service providers. They were parties in the Wireless Code proceeding. The Wireless Code (b) The Wireless Code sets out mandatory requirements applicable to most wireless service contracts. (c) These include the requirements that an early cancellation fee must not exceed the value of the device subsidy received by the customer, and that the early cancellation fee be amortized over a maximum of two years such that the early cancellation fee after two years will be zero. In effect, therefore, under the Wireless Code customers may terminate their wireless service contracts after two years without paying any cancellation fee. Coming into force of the Wireless Code (d) The Wireless Code decision provides that: (i) “all aspects of the Wireless Code will take effect on 2 December 2013”; and (ii) “the Wireless Code should apply to all contracts, no matter when they were entered into, by no later than 3 June 2015.” (e) The CRTC has, through its staff, taken inconsistent positions as to whether the Wireless Code applies on a mandatory basis to contracts entered into before 2 December 2013. 4 - 4 - Retrospective application to pre-existing contracts (a) If the Wireless Code decision applies to all contracts by 3 June 2015, then any contract that was entered into before 2 December 2013 and that terminates after 3 June 2015 will be subject to the Wireless Code. (b) The effect of the application of the Wireless Code to pre-existing contracts would be to override significant terms of these pre-existing contracts. (c) For example, the majority of wireless service contracts that are entered into by customers have fixed terms of three years. The pricing of services provided under these contracts typically incorporates a subsidy for the provision of a mobile phone device. Under most contracts currently offered by wireless service providers, the device subsidy is forgiven over the term of the contract. In most cases, wireless service providers recover device subsidies either through monthly payments made under fixed-term contracts or through early cancellation fees. (d) The retrospective application of the Wireless Code decision to pre-existing contracts, and in particular the requirements that early cancellation fees be limited to the amount of any unpaid device subsidy and that a device subsidy be amortized over a maximum of two years, means that wireless service providers may not be able to recover the full cost of device subsidies provided to customers

  • Wireless Competition in Canada: an Assessment
    Volume 6•Issue 27•September 2013 WIRELESS COMPETITION IN CANADA: AN ASSESSMENT Jeffrey Church † Professor, Department of Economics and Director, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary Andrew Wilkins † Research Associate, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary SUMMARY If there’s one thing Canadians agree on, it’s that Canada’s wireless industry can and should be more competitive. The federal government is on side with the policy objective of having four carriers in every region and has responded with policies that provide commercial advantages to entrants. But, the rub is that there has not been a study that actually assesses the state of competition in wireless services in Canada, until now. Those in favour of policies that will promote and sustain entry point to Canada’s high average revenue per user and low wireless penetration rate (mobile connections per capita) as evidence that there is insufficient competition. The difficulty is that the facts are not consistent with this simplistic analysis. Measurements of wireless penetration are skewed toward countries that maintain the Calling Party Pays Protocol and favour pay-as-you-go plans, both of which encourage inflated user counts. Canada’s participation per capita on monthly plans and minutes of voice per capita are not outliers. Moreover, in terms of smartphone adoption and smartphone data usage, Canada is a global leader, contributing to high average revenue per user. Consistent with being world leaders in the rollout of high speed wireless networks, Canada lead its peer group in capital expenditures per subscriber in 2012: the competition of importance to Canadians is not just over price, but also over the quality of wireless networks.

  • Many Wireless Customers in Canada Underwhelmed by Network Reliability and Speed, J.D
    Many Wireless Customers in Canada Underwhelmed by Network Reliability and Speed, J.D. Power Finds Bell Mobility and TELUS Mobility Rank Highest in Ontario; Videotron Ranks Highest in Eastern Region; TELUS Mobility Ranks Highest in Western Region TORONTO: 22 April 2021 – Although the overall performance of Canada’s wireless networks remains flat year over year with an average of 9 PP100 (problems per 100 connections), a significant portion of customers say performance was not up to par, according to the J.D. Power 2021 Canada Wireless Network Quality Study,SM released today. Only 67% of wireless customers agree that their carrier’s network is reliable when streaming music and videos, activities that account for a significant amount of time used on devices. In addition, just 7% of customers say network speeds are faster than expected. “Despite massive investments in infrastructure and technology, customers remain relatively unimpressed by their carriers’ wireless networks,” said Adrian Chung, director of the technology, media & telecom practice at J.D. Power Canada. “Customers perceive the quality and performance of the wireless networks mainly as fair and meeting expectations. More specifically, network strength is associated with traditional functionality like calling and texting rather than browsing and streaming, presenting a clear reliability gap that carriers need to bridge.” This reliability gap should serve as a red flag for carriers, especially because browsing and streaming account for nearly half (49%) of the time that customers say they spend on their mobile phones. Following are additional key findings of the 2021 study: • Data hungry: The past year has seen an increased need to stay connected and more customers in Canada are beefing up their wireless plans.
