Are Canadians Paying More for Telecom Services??

CRTC RELEASES INTERNATIONAL TELECOM PRICE COMPARISON REPORT



The CRTC has released "Price Comparisons of Wireline, Wireless and Internet Services in Canada and with Foreign Jurisdictions", a new report prepared by Wall Communications on behalf of the CRTC and Industry Canada.

The report is an international telecommunications price comparison of consumer services including: wireline, mobile wireless, wireline broadband and mobile broadband, as well as bundled combinations of the first three services and basic digital TV.

In general, competition within the Canadian market appears to have had a beneficial influence on the cost to consumers while Canadian prices still appear higher than some of the five markets compared: Australia, France, Japan, UK and US.

Full text of the report is available
