  • 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).

  • 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.
