[Advisors] FW: [BCC-list] CRTC initiates review of basic telecommunications services for all Canadians

[Brian Beaton]

Good evening . I just want to make sure as many people as possible get
involved in the CRTC Basic Services Objective announced this week. I created
a PDF (see attached) of the issues, background, and questions being
considered by the CRTC during their process (found at
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2015/2015-134.htm) . 

 

Please circulate and consider writing a response to the CRTC demanding that
they include broadband connectivity with a minimum level of service (UK
announced 100M of service, US announced 25M .) at an equitable cost for all
Canadians .

 

See the BCC-list message about this announcement below .

services for all Canadians

 

You may have seen this in the news already.the CRTC has announced the review
of basic telecommunications services for all Canadians. The process will ask
Canadians about connectivity, broadband speeds, and participation in the
digital world.

 

This is the start of a two-phase process, the first of which concludes soon
- June 30, 2015. I suspect we will all be very interested in following the
findings of the consultation process as it proceeds. 

 

Details are in the media release here:
